### Create Virtual Display Descriptor

Source: https://simpledisplay.app/

This snippet shows how to create a descriptor for a virtual display, setting its name. This is a foundational step for creating virtual monitors using Apple's private CGVirtualDisplay API.

```swift
// Virtual display creation  
let desc = CGVirtualDisplayDescriptor()
desc.name = "iPad Pro 11"  
```

### Configure Display Mirroring for Toggling

Source: https://simpledisplay.app/

This code configures display mirroring to effectively disable a target display. It's used to toggle monitors on and off without unplugging them. The mirroring is reversed by removing the mirror relationship.

```swift
// Display toggling via mirror  
CGConfigureDisplayMirrorOfDisplay(  
config, targetID, mirrorID  
)
```
