Dear, Mr. Pekka Paalanen.

Thank you for your reply and opinion.
I have checked Mr. Giulio's patch:
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/4181/
But unfortunately my patch was little different with Mr. Giulio's.

His patch is to watch interfaces binded such clients.
So He added wl_resource_get_interface() function to refer interface from
resource.
But My patch's purpose is that print which interface is supported in this
server and
which requests and events are supported current interface.

But if he has plan to expand "GammaRay"'s function,
my patch can support that.
Because I add this APIs to support debugging.

I explain to my purpose to this patch.
So please give me more opinions.

I want to see all of interfaces and requests/events names supported current
server.

Ex> command in console: $print_supported_layout
     [1] wl_compositor
         -- Request List --
            0) create_surface
            1) create_region
         -- Event List --

     [2] wl_subcompositor
         -- Request List --
            0) destroy
            1) get_subsurface
         -- Event List --

Each server has different configuration,
so that they could have different about supported interface.
Because this could show not only wayland's basic protocol
but also extra protocol which is user defined.

And it provide more convenience to client developer.
The client developer can watch all of interface and requests/events easily.
(Yes, I know that to watch xml file is more easier to expert.)

This patch is not related to make new functions, fix bugs.
Just to make easier to debug.
Watch server's global list more easier.

I don't know this is enough explain why I want to added these APIs.

Have you give me more opinions or tips about this.
I'm ready to listen your opinions.
If you feel my purpose is reasonable I'll add more specific doc to each
APIs.

Thanks and regards,
JengHyun Kang.
