XStoreBytes, XStoreBuffer, XFetchBytes, XFetchBuffer, XRotateBuffers -
manipulate cut and paste buffers
SYNOPSIS
XStoreBytes(display, bytes, nbytes)
Display *display;
char *bytes;
int nbytes;
XStoreBuffer(display, bytes, nbytes, buffer)
Display *display;
char *bytes;
int nbytes;
int buffer;
char *XFetchBytes(display, nbytes_return)
Display *display;
int *nbytes_return;
char *XFetchBuffer(display, nbytes_return, buffer)
Display *display;
int *nbytes_return;
int buffer;
XRotateBuffers(display, rotate)
Display *display;
int rotate;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the buffer in which you want to store the bytes or from which
you want the stored data returned. Specifies the bytes, which are not
necessarily ASCII or null-terminated. Specifies the connection to the
X server. Specifies the number of bytes to be stored. Returns the
number of bytes in the buffer. Specifies how much to rotate the cut
buffers.
DESCRIPTION
The data can have embedded null characters and need not be null-termi‐
nated. The cut buffer's contents can be retrieved later by any client
calling XFetchBytes.
XStoreBytes can generate a BadAlloc error.
If an invalid buffer is specified, the call has no effect. The data can
have embedded null characters and need not be null-terminated.
XStoreBuffer can generate a BadAlloc error.
The XFetchBytes 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 XFree.
The XFetchBuffer function returns zero to the nbytes_return argument if
there is no data in the buffer or if an invalid buffer is specified.
XFetchBuffer can generate a BadValue error.
The XRotateBuffers 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 XRotateBuffers
generates BadMatch errors if any of the eight buffers have not been
created.
XRotateBuffers can generate a BadMatch 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 argu‐
ment 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.
