Functions for transfering data via the X selection mechanism

<para>
|
|
The X selection mechanism provides a way to transfer
|
|
arbitrary chunks of data between programs.
|
|
A <firstterm>selection</firstterm> is a essentially
|
|
a named clipboard, identified by a string interned
|
|
as a #GdkAtom. By claiming ownership of a selection,
|
|
an application indicates that it will be responsible
|
|
for supplying its contents. The most common
|
|
selections are <literal>PRIMARY</literal> and
|
|
<literal>CLIPBOARD</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The contents of a selection can be represented in
|
|
a number of formats, called <firstterm>targets</firstterm>.
|
|
Each target is identified by an atom. A list of
|
|
all possible targets supported by the selection owner
|
|
can be retrieved by requesting the special target
|
|
<literal>TARGETS</literal>. When a selection is
|
|
retrieved, the data is accompanied by a type
|
|
(an atom), and a format (an integer, representing
|
|
the number of bits per item).
|
|
See <link linkend="gdk-Properties-and-Atoms">Properties and Atoms</link>
|
|
for more information.

<para>
|
|
The functions in this section only contain the lowlevel
|
|
parts of the selection protocol. A considerably more
|
|
complicated implementation is needed on top of this.
|
|
GTK+ contains such an implementation in the functions
|
|
in <literal>gtkselection.h</literal> and programmers
|
|
should use those functions instead of the ones presented
|
|
here. If you plan to implement selection handling
|
|
directly on top of the functions here, you should refer
|
|
to the X Inter-client Communication Conventions Manual
|
|
(ICCCM).

|
|
<para>
|
|
The #GdkSelectionType enumeration contains predefined
|
|
atom values used to represent the types of data transferred
|
|
in response to a request for a target. See the
|
|
ICCCM for details about what data should be transferred
|
|
for each of these types. Other atoms can be used,
|
|
and the recommended practice for GTK+ is to to use mime
|
|
types for this purpose. However, supporting these types
|
|
may be useful for compatibility with older programs.

The #GdkTarget enumeration contains predefined atom values which are

for this purpose. However, supporting these types may be useful for
