Tk_OwnSelection(tkwin, selection, proc, clientData)









  
Tk_Window tkwin (in)

Atom selection (in)

  
The name of the selection to be owned, such as XA_PRIMARY.

    later.

Tk_OwnSelection arranges for tkwin to become the new
    owner of the selection specified by the atom selection. After this
    call completes, future requests for the selection will be directed to
    handlers created for tkwin using Tk_CreateSelHandler. When
    tkwin eventually loses the selection ownership, proc will be
    invoked so that the window can clean itself up (e.g. by unhighlighting the
    selection). Proc should have arguments and result that match the type
    Tk_LostSelProc:




typedef void Tk_LostSelProc(ClientData clientData);



The clientData parameter to proc is a copy of the
  clientData argument given to Tk_OwnSelection, and is usually a
  pointer to a data structure containing application-specific information about
  tkwin.
