Unix per se doesn't have a clipboard. Some editors or GUI interfaces support this.
You connection to a unix server (like putty) may use the windows clipboard.
So -
What is your exact environment - OS, how you login/connect.

xmclipboardendretrieve
XmClipboardEndRetrieve(3X) XmClipboardEndRetrieve(3X)
NAME
XmClipboardEndRetrieve - A clipboard function that ends a copy from the clipboard
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
int XmClipboardEndRetrieve (display, window)
Display * display;
Window window;
DESCRIPTION
XmClipboardEndRetrieve suspends copying data incrementally from the clipboard. It tells the clipboard routines that the application is
through copying an item from the clipboard. Until this function is called, data items can be retrieved incrementally from the clipboard by
calling XmClipboardRetrieve. Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDis-
play. Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be obtained by
using XtWindow. The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls.
RETURN VALUE
The function is successful. The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application. The application can continue to
call the function again with the same parameters until the lock goes away. This gives the application the opportunity to ask if the user
wants to keep trying or to give up on the operation.
