EGL Extension #XXX

Requires EGL 1.2

This extension is written against the wording of the EGL 1.5 Specification

This extension is intended for latency-sensitive applications that are doing
front-buffer rendering. It allows them to indicate to the Android compositor
that it should perform composition every time the display refreshes. This
removes the overhead of having to notify the compositor that the window
surface has been updated, but it comes at the cost of doing potentially
unneeded composition work if the window surface has not been updated.
