XStoreBytes(3X11)	       XLIB FUNCTIONS		    XStoreBytes(3X11)



NAME
  XStoreBytes, XStoreBuffer, XFetchBytes, XFetchBuffer, XRotateBuffers -
  manipulate cut and paste buffers

SYNTAX
  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

  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
  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
  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

  BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server
	    memory.

  BadAtom   A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.

  BadMatch  Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range
	    but fails to match in some other way required by the request.

  BadValue  Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by
	    the request.  Unless a specific range is specified for an argu-
	    ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted.
	    Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
	    error.
