1) The documentation for the X11 is the "X Window System Protocol" https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/x11proto/proto.pdf not the "Xlib - C Language X Interface" . The latter relies heavily on knowledge of the former. 2) Two clibpoard names (well, more in fact) is a convention about protocol usage, described in the ICCCM https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/specs/ICCCM/icccm.html Also there are some practice described by fd.o specs and comments form this links https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/ , at least https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/UTF8_STRING/ and https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/clipboards-spec/ I recommend to make some experiments (get targets, look which contains useful data) with major toolkits and typical scenarios (non-ascii letters, files, images) to be familiar with the ecosystem. > > Also, are there any examples out there in C land on how to read > and write to the two clipboards? > > Many thanks, > -T > > -- > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Computers are like air conditioners. > They malfunction when you open windows > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > _______________________________________________ > xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support > Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg > Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg > Your subscription address: %(user_address)s _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
