qdsync Protocol

Overview

This page describes how the qdsync protocol works. Individual commands are documented below.

The qdsync protocol is a line-oriented protocol that can be implemented on top of a socket. It consists of a number of required commands and some optional commands.

State Machine

While there is no formal state machine there is an expected order of message arrival. The basic process looks like this.

Additionally, once the desktop has sent the HELPER_INIT message the device expects to receive a message of some kind within the specified duration period. The HELPER_PING and HELPER_ACK commands exist for this purpose. The HELPER_QUIT command is used by the device to indicate failure to send a command in the specified time.
