These were added a very long time ago and seem to serve no purpose now, as the functionality they provided is now in core Wayland protocols, current information on their usage and status is nonexistent, no modern compositor seems to support them, and the code paths are untested and subject to bit-rot at this point.

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 3.0
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.
More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting with README.md. If you are migrating to SDL 3.0 from SDL 2.0, the changes are extensively documented in README-migration.md.
Enjoy!
