.IP \fIrotate\fP 1i
|
|
Specifies how much to rotate the cut buffers.
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The data can have embedded null characters
|
|
and need not be null-terminated.
|
|
The cut buffer's contents can be retrieved later by
|
|
any client calling
|
|
.ZN XFetchBytes .
|
|
.LP
|
|
.ZN XStoreBytes
|
|
can generate a
|
|
.ZN BadAlloc
|
|
error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If an invalid buffer is specified, the call has no effect.
|
|
The data can have embedded null characters
|
|
and need not be null-terminated.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.ZN XStoreBuffer
|
|
can generate a
|
|
.ZN BadAlloc
|
|
error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XFetchBytes
|
|
function
|
|
returns the number of bytes in the nbytes_return argument,
|
|
if the buffer contains data.
|
|
Otherwise, the function
|
|
returns NULL and sets nbytes to 0.
|
|
The appropriate amount of storage is allocated and the pointer returned.
|
|
The client must free this storage when finished with it by calling
|
|
.ZN XFree .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XFetchBuffer
|
|
function returns zero to the nbytes_return argument
|
|
if there is no data in the buffer or if an invalid
|
|
buffer is specified.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.ZN XFetchBuffer
|
|
can generate a
|
|
.ZN BadValue
|
|
error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.ZN XRotateBuffers
|
|
function rotates the cut
|
|
buffers, such that buffer 0 becomes buffer n,
|
|
buffer 1 becomes n + 1 mod 8, and so on.
|
|
This cut buffer numbering is global to the display.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.ZN XRotateBuffers
|
|
generates
|
|
.ZN BadMatch
|
|
errors if any of the eight buffers have not been created.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.ZN XRotateBuffers
|
|
can generate a
|
|
.ZN BadMatch
|
|
error.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.ZN BadAlloc
|
|
The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.ZN BadAtom
|
|
A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.ZN BadMatch
|
|
Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails
|
|
to match in some other way required by the request.
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.ZN BadValue
|
|
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
|
|
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
|
|
by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
|
|
alternatives can generate this error.
