DESCRIPTION

14       The sel_config file specifies how a  system  that  is  configured  with
15       Trusted  Extensions  behaves when a user transfers data between windows
16       that have different labels. Transfer operations include  cut-and-paste,
17       copy-and-paste,  and  drag-and-drop.  There are two types of entries in
18       this file: automatic confirmation and automatic reply.
19
20   Automatic Confirmation
21       This type of entry specifies whether a confirmation window, the  selec‐
22       tion confirmer, displays. Each entry has the form:
23
24         relationship: confirmation
25
26
27
28
29       relationship  identifies  the  result  of comparing the selected data's
30       source and destination windows' labels. There are three allowed values:
31
32       upgradesl           The source window's label is less than the destina‐
33                           tion window's label.
34
35
36       downgradesl         The source window's label is higher than the desti‐
37                           nation window's label.
38
39
40       disjointsl          The source and destination windows' labels are dis‐
41                           joint. Neither label dominates the other.
42
43
44
45       confirmation  specifies  whether  to  perform  automatic  confirmation.
46       Allowed values are:
47
48       n    Use manual confirmation, that is, display the selection  confirmer
49            window. This is the default.
50
51
52       y    Use  automatic confirmation, that is, do not display the selection
53            confirmer window.
54
55
56   Automatic Reply
57       A single user  operation  can  involve  several  flows  of  information
58       between  the source and destination windows. The automatic reply set of
59       entries provides a means to reduce the number of confirmations that are
60       required of the user.
61
62
63       There must be one entry of this form:
64
65         autoreply: value
66
67
68
69
70       If value is y (for yes), then the remaining entries of the set are used
71       as attributes for the selection data (rather than the actual  contents)
72       to complete the operation without confirmation. If value is n (for no),
73       then the remaining entries are ignored.
74
75
76       Defaults can be specified for any type field that appears in  the  Con‐
77       firmer window. Below are some sample entries for defaults.
78
79         replytype: TARGETS
80         replytype: Pixel Sets
81         replytype: LENGTH
82         replytype: Type Of Monitor
83
84
85
86
87       The TARGETS entry, when used, returns the list of target atoms that are
88       supported by the source window. The Pixel  Sets  and  Type  Of  Monitor
89       entries  are  used  for animation during a drag-and-drop operation. The
90       LENGTH entry specifies the number of bytes in the selection.
