// Package transfer contains operations and events for brokering data transfers. // // The transfer protocol is as follows: // // - Data sources use [SourceFilter] to receive an [InitiateEvent] when a drag // is initiated, and an [RequestEvent] for each initiation of a data transfer. // Sources respond to requests with [OfferCmd]. // - Data targets use [TargetFilter] to receive an [DataEvent] for receiving data. // The target must close the data event after use. // // When a user initiates a pointer-guided drag and drop transfer, the // source as well as all potential targets receive an InitiateEvent. // Potential targets are targets with at least one MIME type in common // with the source.
