1 | Documentation for the libegl1-x11, libgles1, and libgles2 virtual |
| 2 | packages. | |

| 4 | Although there are is no standardised linux ABI for GL|ES, there is | |
| 5 | a “strongly encouraged” set of standard headers, type and linkage definitions | |
| 6 | supplied by the Khronos group[1]. The mesa implementation provides this ABI. | |
| 7 | Any non-mesa implementation that wants to provide these packages should | |
| 8 | conform to the Khronos group's de-facto ABI. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | The case of EGL is similar; Khronos again supplies a de-facto linux ABI. | |
| 11 | The EGL ABI is necessarily tied to the native windowing system by the | |
| 12 | eglNativeDisplayType, eglNativeWindowType, and eglNativePixmapType typedefs. | |
| 13 | The EGL virtual package therefore includes the name of the x11 windowing | |
| 14 | system to leave room should further windowing ABIs be standardised. | |
