XSelectionEvent - SelectionNotify event structure
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 identifies 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, PRI-
MARY is used for the primary selection. The target member is
set to the atom that indicates the converted type. For exam-
ple, 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 conversion failed, the property member is
set to None. The time member is set to the time the conver-
sion took place and can be a timestamp or CurrentTime.
