XSelectionEvent(3)		 XLIB FUNCTIONS 	      XSelectionEvent(3)

NAME
     XSelectionEvent - SelectionNotify event structure

STRUCTURES
     The structure for SelectionNotify events contains:

     typedef struct {
	     int type;	     /* SelectionNotify */
	     unsigned long serial;   /* # of last request processed by server */
	     Bool send_event;	     /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */
	     Display *display;	     /* Display the event was read from */
	     Window requestor;
	     Atom selection;
	     Atom target;
	     Atom property;  /* atom or None */
	     Time time;
     } XSelectionEvent;

     When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.

     The  type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely iden-
     tifies it.  For example, when the X server reports a  GraphicsExpose  event
     to  a  client  application, it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent structure with
     the type member set to GraphicsExpose.  The display  member  is  set  to  a
     pointer to the display the event was read on.  The send_event member is set
     to  True  if  the event came from a SendEvent protocol request.  The serial
     member is set from the serial number reported in the protocol but	expanded
     from  the 16-bit least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value.  The window
     member is set to the window that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.

     The requestor member is set to the window associated with the requestor  of
     the  selection.  The selection member is set to the atom that indicates the
     selection.  For example, PRIMARY is used for the  primary	selection.   The
     target  member  is  set to the atom that indicates the converted type.  For
     example, PIXMAP is used for a pixmap.  The property member is  set  to  the
     atom  that  indicates which property the result was stored on.  If the con-
     version failed, the property member is set to None.  The time member is set
     to the time the conversion took place and can be a  timestamp  or	Current-
     Time.
