XmClipboardRegisterFormat(3X)	   OSF/Motif	 XmClipboardRegisterFormat(3X)

NAME
       XmClipboardRegisterFormat  -  A clipboard function that registers a new
       format

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

       int  XmClipboardRegisterFormat  (display,  format_name,	format_length)
	    Display	*     display;		char	    *	  format_name;
	    int		format_length;

DESCRIPTION
       XmClipboardRegisterFormat registers a new format.  Each	format	stored
       on  the	clipboard should have a length associated with it; this length
       must be known to the clipboard routines.	 Formats are known as  targets
       in  the	Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM).	All of
       the formats specified by the ICCCM conventions are preregistered.   Any
       other  format  that  the	 application wants to use must either be 8-bit
       data or be registered via this routine.	Failure to register the length
       of  the data results in incompatible applications across platforms hav‐
       ing different byte-swapping orders.  Specifies a pointer to the Display
       structure  that	was  returned  in  a  previous call to XOpenDisplay or
       XtDisplay.  Specifies the string name  for  the	new  format  (target).
       Specifies the format length in bits (8, 16, or 32).

RETURN VALUE
       The  format_name must not be NULL, and the format_length must be 8, 16,
       or 32.  The function is successful.  The function  failed  because  the
       clipboard  was locked by another application.  The application can con‐
       tinue 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
       function	 failed	 because  the  format was already registered with this
       length.
