# Overview

The Client Impl object is created by a protocol implementation when a new client connects.

The client is used to keep track of all resources belonging to one connection with the PipeWire server.

# Credentials

The client object will have its credentials filled in by the protocol. This information is used to check if a resource or action is available for this client.

# Types

The client and server maintain a mapping between the client and server types. All type ids that are in messages exchanged between the client and server will automatically be remapped.

# Resources

When a client binds to context global object, a resource is made for this binding and a unique id is assigned to the resources. The client and server will use this id as the destination when exchanging messages. See also Resource
