XmClipboardInquireFormat(3X) XmClipboardInquireFormat(3X) NAME XmClipboardInquireFormat - A clipboard function that returns a speci- fied format name SYNOPSIS #include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/CutPaste.h> int XmClipboardInquireFormat (display, window, index, format_name_buf, buffer_len, copied_len) Display * display; Window window; int index; XtPointer format_name_buf; unsigned long buffer_len; unsigned long * copied_len; DESCRIPTION XmClipboardInquireFormat returns a specified format name for the data item in the clipboard. If the name must be truncated, the function re- turns a warning status. Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay. Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the application window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be obtained by using XtWin- dow. The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls. Specifies which of the ordered format names to obtain. If this index is greater than the num- ber of formats for the data item, this function returns a zero in the copied_len argument. Specifies the buffer that receives the format name. Specifies the number of bytes in the format name buffer. Speci- fies the number of bytes in the string copied to the buffer. If this argument equals zero, there is no nth format for the data item. RETURN VALUE The function is successful. The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application. The application can continue 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 data returned is truncated because the user did not provide a buffer large enough to hold the data. The function could not find data on the clipboard cor- responding to the format requested. This could occur because the clip- board is empty; there is data on the clipboard but not in the requested format; or the data in the requested format was passed by name and is no longer available.
