XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)   XT FUNCTIONS XtGetSelectionValue(3Xt)

DESCRIPTION
       The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the
       selection that has been converted to the target type.  The
       specified callback will be called some time after XtGet-
       SelectionValue is called; in fact, it may be called before
       or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.

       The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to XtGet-
       SelectionValue except that it takes a list of target types
       and a list of client data and obtains the current value of
       the selection converted to each of the targets.	The
       effect is as if each target were specified in a separate
       call to XtGetSelectionValue.  The callback is called once
       with the corresponding client data for each target.
       XtGetSelectionValues does guarantee that all the conver-
       sions will use the same selection value because the owner-
       ship of the selection cannot change in the middle of the
       list, as would be when calling XtGetSelectionValue repeat-
       edly.
