+      A hold gesture object notifies a client about a single- or
+      multi-finger hold gesture detected on an indirect input device such as
+      a touchpad. The gesture is usually initiated by one or more fingers
+      being held down without significant movement. The precise conditions
+      of when such a gesture is detected are implementation-dependent.
+
+      In particular, this gesture may be used to cancel kinetic scrolling.
+
+      A hold gesture consists of two stages: begin and end. Unlike pinch and
+      swipe there is no update stage.
+      There cannot be multiple simultaneous hold, pinch or swipe gestures on a
+      same pointer/seat, how compositors prevent these situations is
+      implementation-dependent.
+
+      A gesture may be cancelled by the compositor or the hardware.
+      Clients should not consider performing permanent or irreversible
+      actions until the end of a gesture has been received.
