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 lon‐
glength; long private_id;
DESCRIPTIONXmClipboardCopyByName 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 buf‐
fer 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. Speci‐
fies 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.
