ARGUMENTS
buffer Specifies the buffer in which you want to store the bytes or
from which you want the stored data returned.
bytes Specifies the bytes, which are not necessarily ASCII or null-
terminated.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
nbytes Specifies the number of bytes to be stored.
nbytes_return
Returns the number of bytes in the buffer.
rotate Specifies how much to rotate the cut buffers.
DESCRIPTION
Note that the data can have embedded null characters, and need not be
null terminated. The cut buffer's contents can be retrieved later by
any client calling
can generate a error.
If an invalid buffer is specified, the call has no effect. Note that
the data can have embedded null characters, and need not be null termi‐
nated.
can generate a error.
The function returns the number of bytes in the nbytes_return argument,
if the buffer contains data. Otherwise, the function returns NULL and
sets nbytes to 0. The appropriate amount of storage is allocated and
the pointer returned. The client must free this storage when finished
with it by calling
The function returns zero to the nbytes_return argument if there is no
data in the buffer or if an invalid buffer is specified.
can generate a error.
The function rotates the cut buffers, such that buffer 0 becomes buffer
n, buffer 1 becomes n + 1 mod 8, and so on. This cut buffer numbering
is global to the display. Note that generates errors if any of the
eight buffers have not been created.
can generate a error.
DIAGNOSTICS
The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but
fails
to match in some other way required by the request.
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the
request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the
full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any
argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
error.
