NAME
       XmClipboardCopyByName - A clipboard function that copies a data item passed by name

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

       int XmClipboardCopyByName (display, window, data_id, buffer, length, private_id)
	       Display * display;
	       Window window;
	       long data_id;
	       XtPointer buffer;
	       unsigned long length;
	       long private_id;

DESCRIPTION
       XmClipboardCopyByName  copies the actual data for a data item that was previously passed by name to the clipboard. Data is considered to be
       passed by name when a call to XmClipboardCopy is made with a NULL buffer parameter. Additional calls to this function append  new  data	to
       the existing data.  Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.  Speci-
       fies 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 clipboard function it calls.  Specifies an identifying number assigned
       to the data item that uniquely identifies the data item and the format.	This number was assigned by  XmClipboardCopy  to  the  data  item.
       Specifies the buffer from which the clipboard copies the data.  Specifies the number of bytes in the data item.	Specifies the private data
       that the application wants to store with the data item.

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.
