SYNTAX

       XStoreBytes(display, bytes, nbytes)
             Display *display;
             char *bytes;
             int nbytes;

       XStoreBuffer(display, bytes, nbytes, buffer)
             Display *display;
             char *bytes;
             int nbytes;
             int buffer;

       char *XFetchBytes(display, nbytes_return)
             Display *display;
             int *nbytes_return;

       char *XFetchBuffer(display, nbytes_return, buffer)
             Display *display;
             int *nbytes_return;
             int buffer;

       XRotateBuffers(display, rotate)
             Display *display;
             int rotate;


ARGUMENTS

       buffer    Specifies the buffer in which you want to store
                 the bytes or from which you want the stored data
                 returned.

       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.


DESCRIPTION

       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.

       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.


DIAGNOSTICS

       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 cor-
                 rect 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 spe-
                 cific 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.
