10'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
11'\" manual entries.
12'\"
13'\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
14'\" Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
15'\" type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
16'\" or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
17'\" and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
18'\" needed; use .AS below instead)
19'\"
20'\" .AS ?type? ?name?
21'\" Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops. Type and
22'\" name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
23'\" to .AP later. If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
24'\"
25'\" .BS
26'\" Start box enclosure. From here until next .BE, everything will be
27'\" enclosed in one large box.
28'\"
29'\" .BE
30'\" End of box enclosure.
31'\"
32'\" .CS
33'\" Begin code excerpt.
34'\"
35'\" .CE
36'\" End code excerpt.
37'\"
38'\" .VS ?version? ?br?
39'\" Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
40'\" of man pages. The first argument is ignored and used for recording
41'\" the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
42'\" found and removed when they reach a certain age. If another argument
43'\" is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
44'\"
45'\" .VE
46'\" End of vertical sidebar.
47'\"
48'\" .DS
49'\" Begin an indented unfilled display.
50'\"
51'\" .DE
52'\" End of indented unfilled display.
53'\"
54'\" .SO
55'\" Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The
56'\" options follow on successive lines, in four columns separated
57'\" by tabs.
58'\"
59'\" .SE
60'\" End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
61'\"
62'\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
63'\" Start of description of a specific option. cmdName gives the
64'\" option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
65'\" the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
66'\" the option's class in the option database.
67'\"
68'\" .UL arg1 arg2
69'\" Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.

275.SH DESCRIPTION
276.PP
277These two procedures manage the clipboard for Tk.
278The clipboard is typically managed by calling \fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR
279once, then calling \fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR to add data for any
280number of targets.
281.PP
282\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR claims the CLIPBOARD selection and frees any
283data items previously stored on the clipboard in this application.
284It normally returns TCL_OK, but if an error occurs it returns
285TCL_ERROR and leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR.
286\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR must be called before a sequence of
287\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR calls can be issued.
288.PP
289\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR appends a buffer of data to the clipboard.
290The first buffer for a given \fItarget\fR determines the \fIformat\fR
291for that \fItarget\fR.
292Any successive appends for that \fItarget\fR must have
293the same format or an error will be returned.
294\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR returns TCL_OK if the buffer is
295successfully copied onto the clipboard. If the clipboard is not
296currently owned by the application, either
297because \fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR has not been called or because
298ownership of the clipboard has changed since the last call to
299\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR,
300\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR returns TCL_ERROR and leaves an error message in
301\fIinterp->result\fR.
302.PP
303In order to guarantee atomicity, no event handling should occur
304between \fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR and the following
305\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR calls (otherwise someone could retrieve
306a partially completed clipboard or claim ownership away from
307this application).
308.PP
309\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR may invoke callbacks, including arbitrary
310Tcl scripts, as a result of losing the CLIPBOARD selection, so
311any calling function should take care to be reentrant at the point
312\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR is invoked.
