Name
XStoreBytes - store data in cut buffer 0.
Synopsis
XStoreBytes(display, bytes, nbytes)
Display *display;
char bytes[];
int nbytes;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().
bytes Specifies the string of bytes to store. The byte string is not necessarily ASCII or NULL-terminated.
nbytes Specifies the number of bytes to store.
Description
XStoreBytes() stores data in cut buffer 0, usually for reading by another client that already knows the meaning of the contents. Note that
the cut buffer's contents need not be text, so null bytes are not special.
The cut buffer's contents may be retrieved later by any client calling XFetchBytes().
Use XStoreBuffer() to store data in buffers 1-7. Note that selections are the preferred method of transferring data between applications.
For more information on cut buffers, see Volume One, Chapter 15, Other Programming Techniques. For more information on selections, see
Volume One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.
Errors
