STRUCTURES

9       The structure for SelectionNotify events contains:
10
11       typedef struct {
12               int type;       /* SelectionNotify */
13               unsigned long serial;   /* # of last request processed by server */
14               Bool send_event;        /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
15               Display *display;       /* Display the event was read from */
16               Window requestor;
17               Atom selection;
18               Atom target;
19               Atom property;  /* atom or None */
20               Time time;
21       } XSelectionEvent;
22
23       When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.
24
25       The  type  member  is set to the event type constant name that uniquely
26       identifies it.  For example, when the X server reports a GraphicsExpose
27       event  to a client application, it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent struc‐
28       ture with the type member set to GraphicsExpose.  The display member is
29       set  to a pointer to the display the event was read on.  The send_event
30       member is set to True if the event came from a SendEvent  protocol  re‐
31       quest.  The serial member is set from the serial number reported in the
32       protocol but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a  full
33       32-bit value.  The window member is set to the window that is most use‐
34       ful to toolkit dispatchers.
35
36       The requestor member is set to the window associated with the requestor
37       of  the  selection.  The selection member is set to the atom that indi‐
38       cates the selection.  For example, PRIMARY is used for the primary  se‐
39       lection.   The target member is set to the atom that indicates the con‐
40       verted type.  For example, PIXMAP is used for a pixmap.   The  property
41       member  is set to the atom that indicates which property the result was
42       stored on.  If the conversion failed, the property  member  is  set  to
43       None.  The time member is set to the time the conversion took place and
44       can be a timestamp or CurrentTime.
