The wp_relative_pointer interface is an extension to the wl_pointer
interface created from wl_seat. It has the same focus, but adds the
functionality of sending relative pointer motions unhindered by
constraints such as monitor edges or other barriers. It also contains
unaccelerated pointer motion information.

+
+ <description summary="Protocol for relative pointer motion events">
+ This protocol specifies a set of interfaces used for making clients able to
+ receive relative pointer events not obstructed by barriers (such as the
+ monitor edge or other pointer barriers).
+
+ To start receiving relative pointer events, a client must first bind the
+ global interface "wp_relative_pointer_manager" which, if a compositor
+ supports relative pointer motion events, is exposed by the registry. After
+ having created the relative pointer manager proxy object, the client uses
+ it to create the actual relative pointer object using the
+ "get_relative_pointer" request given a wl_pointer. The relative pointer
+ motion events will then, when applicable, be transmitted via the proxy of
+ the newly created relative pointer object. See the documentation of the
+ relative pointer interface for more details.
+
+ Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and backward
+ incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes may be added
+ together with the corresponding interface version bump. Backward
+ incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in the protocol
+ and interface names and resetting the interface version. Once the protocol
+ is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the version number in the
+ protocol and interface names are removed and the interface version number is
+ reset.

+ <description summary="relative pointer motion">
+ Relative x/y pointer motion from the pointer of the seat associated with
+ this object.
+
+ A relative motion is in the same dimension as regular wl_pointer motion
+ events, except they do not represent an absolute position. For example,
+ moving a pointer from (x, y) to (x', y') would have the equivalent
+ relative motion (x' - x, y' - y). If a pointer motion caused the
+ absolute pointer position to be clipped by for example the edge of the
+ monitor, the relative motion is unaffected by the clipping and will
+ represent the unclipped motion.
+
+ This event also contains non-accelerated motion deltas. The
+ non-accelerated delta is, when applicable, the regular pointer motion
+ delta as it was before having applied motion acceleration and other
+ transformations such as normalization.
+
+ Note that the non-accelerated delta does not represent 'raw' events as
+ they were read from some device. Pointer motion acceleration is device-
+ and configuration-specific and non-accelerated deltas and accelerated
+ deltas may have the same value on some devices.
+
+ Relative motions are not coupled to wl_pointer.motion events, and can be
+ sent in combination with such events, but also independently. There may
+ also be scenarious where wl_pointer.motion is sent, but there is no
+ relative motion. The order of an absolute and relative motion event
+ originating from the same physical motion is not guaranteed.
+
+ If the client needs button events or focus state, it can receive them
+ from a wl_pointer object of the same seat that the wp_relative_pointer
+ object is associated with.
