NAME

       Tk_ClipboardClear, Tk_ClipboardAppend - Manage the clipboard

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tk.h>

       int
       Tk_ClipboardClear(interp, tkwin)

       int
       Tk_ClipboardAppend(interp, tkwin, target, format, buffer)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)		     Interpreter to use for reporting errors.

       Tk_Window tkwin (in)		     Window that determines which display's clipboard to manipulate.

       Atom target (in) 		     Conversion type for this clipboard item;  has same meaning as target argument to Tk_CreateSelHandler.

       Atom format (in) 		     Representation  to  use when data is retrieved;  has same meaning as format argument to Tk_CreateSel-
					     Handler.

       char *buffer (in)		     Null terminated string containing the data to be appended to the clipboard.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       These two procedures manage the clipboard for Tk.  The clipboard is typically managed  by  calling  Tk_ClipboardClear  once,  then  calling
       Tk_ClipboardAppend to add data for any number of targets.

       Tk_ClipboardClear  claims the CLIPBOARD selection and frees any data items previously stored on the clipboard in this application.  It nor-
       mally returns TCL_OK, but if an error occurs it returns TCL_ERROR and leaves an error message in interp->result.  Tk_ClipboardClear must be
       called before a sequence of Tk_ClipboardAppend calls can be issued.

       Tk_ClipboardAppend  appends  a buffer of data to the clipboard.	The first buffer for a given target determines the format for that target.
       Any successive appends for that target must have the same format or an error will be returned.  Tk_ClipboardAppend returns  TCL_OK  if  the
       buffer is successfully copied onto the clipboard.  If the clipboard is not currently owned by the application, either because Tk_Clipboard-
       Clear has not been called or because ownership of the clipboard has changed since the last call	to  Tk_ClipboardClear,	Tk_ClipboardAppend
       returns TCL_ERROR and leaves an error message in interp->result.

       In  order to guarantee atomicity, no event handling should occur between Tk_ClipboardClear and the following Tk_ClipboardAppend calls (oth-
       erwise someone could retrieve a partially completed clipboard or claim ownership away from this application).

       Tk_ClipboardClear may invoke callbacks, including arbitrary Tcl scripts, as a result of losing the  CLIPBOARD  selection,  so  any  calling
       function should take care to be reentrant at the point Tk_ClipboardClear is invoked.
