DESCRIPTION

14       This  function  returns  a  pointer to a string, allocated with al_mal‐
15       loc(3) with the text contents of the clipboard  if  available.   If  no
16       text  is  available  on  the clipboard then this function returns NULL.
17       You must call al_free(3) on the returned pointer when you don't need it
18       anymore.

20       Beware  that text on the clipboard on Windows may be in Windows format,
21       that is, it may have carriage return newline combinations for the  line
22       endings  instead  of  regular newlines for the line endings on Linux or
23       OSX.
