XStoreBytes 3X11 __xorgversion__ XLIB FUNCTIONS XStoreBytes XStoreBuffer XFetchBytes XFetchBuffer XRotateBuffers manipulate cut and paste buffers int XStoreBytes ( Display *display , char *bytes , int  nbytes ); int XStoreBuffer ( Display *display , char *bytes , int  nbytes , int buffer ); char *XFetchBytes ( Display *display , int *nbytes_return ); char *XFetchBuffer ( Display *display , int *nbytes_return , int buffer ); int XRotateBuffers ( Display *display , int rotate ); or from which you want the stored data returned buffer Specifies the buffer in which you want to store the bytes. bytes Specifies the bytes, which are not necessarily ASCII or null-terminated. display Specifies the connection to the X server. nbytes Specifies the number of bytes to be stored. nbytes_return Returns the number of bytes in the buffer. rotate Specifies how much to rotate the cut buffers. 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  XFetchBytes .  XStoreBytes  can generate a  BadAlloc  error. If an invalid buffer is specified, the call has no effect. The data can have embedded null characters and need not be null-terminated.  XStoreBuffer  can generate a  BadAlloc  error. The  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  XFree . The  XFetchBuffer  function returns zero to the nbytes_return argument if there is no data in the buffer or if an invalid buffer is specified.  XFetchBuffer  can generate a  BadValue  error. The  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  XRotateBuffers  generates  BadMatch  errors if any of the eight buffers have not been created.  XRotateBuffers  can generate a  BadMatch  error.  BadAlloc  The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.  BadAtom  A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.  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.  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.
