XtGetSelectionValue(3)                          XT FUNCTIONS                          XtGetSelectionValue(3)



NAME
       XtGetSelectionValue, XtGetSelectionValues - obtain selection values

SYNTAX
       void XtGetSelectionValue(Widget w, Atom selection, Atom target, XtSelectionCallbackProc callback,
              XtPointer client_data, Time time);

       void XtGetSelectionValues(Widget w, Atom selection, Atom *targets, int count, XtSelectionCallbackProc
              callback, XtPointer client_data, Time time);

ARGUMENTS
       callback  Specifies the callback procedure that is to be called when the selection value has been
                 obtained.

       client_data
                 Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified procedure when it is called.

       client_data
                 Specifies the client data (one for each target type) that is passed to the callback proce-dure procedure
                 dure when it is called for that target.

       count     Specifies the length of the targets and client_data lists.

       selection Specifies the particular selection desired (that is, primary or secondary).

       target    Specifies the type of the information that is needed about the selection.

       targets   Specifies the types of information that is needed about the selection.

       time      Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the selection value is desired.

       w         Specifies the widget that is making the request.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the selection that has been converted to the
       target type.  The specified callback will be called some time after XtGetSelectionValue is called; in
       fact, it may be called before or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.

       The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to XtGetSelectionValue except that it takes a list of
       target types and a list of client data and obtains the current value of the selection converted to
       each of the targets.  The effect is as if each target were specified in a separate call to XtGet-SelectionValue. XtGetSelectionValue.
       SelectionValue.  The callback is called once with the corresponding client data for each target.
       XtGetSelectionValues does guarantee that all the conversions will use the same selection value
       because the ownership of the selection cannot change in the middle of the list, as would be when
       calling XtGetSelectionValue repeatedly.
