  <interface name="zriver_control_v1" version="1">
    <description summary="run compositor commands">
      This interface allows clients to run compositor commands and receive a
      success/failure response with output or a failure message respectively.

      Each command is built up in a series of add_argument requests and
      executed with a run_command request. The first argument is the command
      to be run.

      A complete list of commands should be made available in the man page of
      the compositor.
