11       void XtGetSelectionValue(Widget w, Atom selection, Atom target, XtSe‐
12              lectionCallbackProc callback, XtPointer client_data, Time time);

ARGUMENTS

19       callback  Specifies the callback procedure that is to be called when
20                 the selection value has been obtained.
21
22       client_data
23                 Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the specified
24                 procedure when it is called.
25
26       client_data
27                 Specifies the client data (one for each target type) that is
28                 passed to the callback procedure when it is called for that
29                 target.
30
31       count     Specifies the length of the targets and client_data lists.
32
33       selection Specifies the particular selection desired (that is, primary
34                 or secondary).
35
36       target    Specifies the type of the information that is needed about
37                 the selection.
38
39       targets   Specifies the types of information that is needed about the
40                 selection.
41
42       time      Specifies the timestamp that indicates when the selection
43                 value is desired.
44
45       w         Specifies the widget that is making the request.

DESCRIPTION

48       The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the selection
49       that has been converted to the target type.  The specified callback
50       will be called some time after XtGetSelectionValue is called; in fact,
51       it may be called before or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.
52
53       The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to XtGetSelectionValue
54       except that it takes a list of target types and a list of client data
55       and obtains the current value of the selection converted to each of the
56       targets.  The effect is as if each target were specified in a separate
57       call to XtGetSelectionValue.  The callback is called once with the cor‐
58       responding client data for each target.  XtGetSelectionValues does
59       guarantee that all the conversions will use the same selection value
60       because the ownership of the selection cannot change in the middle of
61       the list, as would be when calling XtGetSelectionValue repeatedly.
