NAME
       XmClipboardInquireFormat - A clipboard function that returns a specified format name

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

       int XmClipboardInquireFormat (display, window, index, format_name_buf, buffer_len, copied_len)
	       Display * display;
	       Window window;
	       int index;
	       XtPointer format_name_buf;
	       unsigned long buffer_len;
	       unsigned long * copied_len;

DESCRIPTION
       XmClipboardInquireFormat  returns  a specified format name for the data item in the clipboard.  If the name must be truncated, the function
       returns a warning status.  Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or	XtDisplay.
       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.   Specifies  which
       of the ordered format names to obtain.  If this index is greater than the number of formats for the data item, this function returns a zero
       in the copied_len argument.  Specifies the buffer that receives the format name.  Specifies the number of bytes in the format name  buffer.
       Specifies the number of bytes in the string copied to the buffer.  If this argument equals zero, there is no nth format for 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.  The data returned is truncated because the user did not provide a buffer large enough
       to hold the data.  The function could not find data on the clipboard corresponding to the format requested. This could  occur  because  the
       clipboard  is empty; there is data on the clipboard but not in the requested format; or the data in the requested format was passed by name
       and is no longer available.
