XmClipboardInquireLength(3) Library Functions Manual XmClipboardInquireLength(3)

NAME
     XmClipboardInquireLength -- A clipboard function that returns the length of
     the stored data

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>
     int XmClipboardInquireLength (display, window, format_name, length)
	     Display * display;
	     Window  window;
	     char    * format_name;
	     unsigned long   * length;
     (void)

DESCRIPTION
     XmClipboardInquireLength  returns	the  length  of  the data stored under a
     specified format name for the clipboard data item. If no data is found  for
     the  specified  format, or if there is no item on the clipboard, this func-
     tion returns a value of 0 (zero) in the length argument.

     Any format passed by name is assumed to have length passed in a call to Xm-
     ClipboardCopy, even though the data has not yet  been  transferred  to  the
     clipboard in that format.

     display   Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in
	       a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay.

     window    Specifies  the window ID of a widget that relates the application
	       window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can  be	obtained
	       through	XtWindow.  The same application instance should pass the
	       same window ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls.

     format_name
	       Specifies the name of the format for the data item.

     length    Specifies the length of the next data item in the specified  for-
	       mat.  This  argument  equals 0 (zero) if no data is found for the
	       specified format, or if there is no item on the clipboard.

RETURN
     XmClipboardSuccess
	       The function was successful.

     XmClipboardLocked
	       The function failed because the clipboard was locked  by  another
	       application.  The  application  can continue to call the function
	       again with the same parameters until the  lock  goes  away.  This
	       gives the application the opportunity to ask if the user wants to
	       keep trying or to give up on the operation.

     XmClipboardNoData
	       The  function  could not find data on the clipboard corresponding
	       to the format requested. This could occur because  the  clipboard
	       is  empty;  there  is  data  on the clipboard, but not in the re-
	       quested format; or the data in the requested format was passed by
	       name and is no longer available.
