--  <description>
--  The Gtk_Clipboard object represents a clipboard of data shared between
--  different processes or between different widgets in the same process. Each
--  clipboard is identified by a name encoded as a Gdk_Atom. (Conversion to and
--  from strings can be done with gdk.properties.atom_intern and
--  gdk.properties.atom_name().) The default clipboard corresponds to the
--  "CLIPBOARD" atom; another commonly used clipboard is the "PRIMARY"
--  clipboard, which, in X, traditionally contains the currently selected text.
--
--  To support having a number of different formats on the clipboard at the
--  same time, the clipboard mechanism allows providing callbacks instead of
--  the actual data. When you set the contents of the clipboard, you can either
--  supply the data directly (via functions like Set_Text), or you can supply a
--  callback to be called at a later time when the data is needed (via
--  Set_With_Data or Set_With_Owner.) Providing a callback also avoids having
--  to make copies of the data when it is not needed.
--
--  Set_With_Data and Set_With_Owner are quite similar; the choice between the
--  two depends mostly on which is more convenient in a particular situation.
--  The former is most useful when you want to have a blob of data with
--  callbacks to convert it into the various data types that you advertise.
--  When the clear_func you provided is called, you simply free the data blob.
--  The latter is more useful when the contents of clipboard reflect the
--  internal state of a GObject (As an example, for the PRIMARY clipboard, when
--  an entry widget provides the clipboard's contents the contents are simply
--  the text within the selected region.) If the contents change, the entry
--  widget can call Set_With_Owner() to update the timestamp for clipboard
--  ownership, without having to worry about clear_func being called.
--
--  Requesting the data from the clipboard is essentially asynchronous. If the
--  contents of the clipboard are provided within the same process, then direct
--  function call will be made to retrieve the data, but if they are provided
--  by another process, then the data needs to be retrieved from the other
--  process, which may take some time. To avoid blocking the user interface,
--  the call to request the selection, Request_Contents takes a callback that
--  will be called when the contents are received (or when the request fails.)
--  If you don't want to deal with providing a separate callback, you can also
--  use Wait_For_Contents. What this does is run the GLib main loop recursively
--  waiting for the contents. This can simplify the code flow, but you still
--  have to be aware that other callbacks in your program can be called while
--  this recursive mainloop is running.
--
--  Along with the functions to get the clipboard contents as an arbitrary data
--  chunk, there are also functions to retrieve it as text, Request_Text and
--  Wait_For_Text. These functions take care of determining which formats are
--  advertised by the clipboard provider, asking for the clipboard in the best
--  available format and converting the results into the UTF-8 encoding. (The
--  standard form for representing strings in GTK+.)

   --  Returns the clipboard object for the given selection to be used with
   --  Widget. Widget must have a Gdk_Display associated with it, so must be
   --  attached to a toplevel window.
   --
   --  Return value: the appropriate clipboard object. If no clipboard already
   --  exists, a new one will be created. Once a clipboard object has been
   --  created, it is persistent for all time.

   function Get
     (Selection : Gdk.Types.Gdk_Atom := Gdk.Types.Gdk_None)
      return Gtk_Clipboard;
   --  Return the clipboard object for the given selection. Cut/copy/paste menu
   --  items and keyboard shortcuts should use the default clipboard, returned
   --  by passing Gdk_None for Selection. The currently-selected object or text
   --  should be provided on the clipboard identified by Selection_Primary.
   --  Cut/copy/paste menu items conceptually copy the contents of the
   --  Selection_Primary clipboard to the default clipboard, i.e. they copy the
   --  selection to what the user sees as the clipboard.
   --
   --  (Passing Gdk_None is the same as using Atom_Intern ("CLIPBOARD", False).
   --  See http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/ for a
   --  detailed discussion of the "CLIPBOARD" vs. "PRIMARY" selections under
   --  the X window system. On Win32 the Selection_Primary clipboard is
   --  essentially ignored.)
   --
   --  It's possible to have arbitrary named clipboards; if you do invent new
   --  clipboards, you should prefix the selection name with an underscore
   --  (because the ICCCM requires that nonstandard atoms are
   --  underscore-prefixed), and namespace it as well. For example, if your
   --  application called "Foo" has a special-purpose clipboard, you might call
   --  it "_FOO_SPECIAL_CLIPBOARD".
   --
   --  Selection is a Gdk_Atom which identifies the clipboard to use.
   --
   --  If no clipboard already exists, a new one will be created. Once
   --  clipboard object has been created, it is persistent for all time and
   --  cannot be freed.

   --  This value is reset when the clipboard owner changes. Where the
   --  clipboard data is stored is platform dependent.
   --  Targets is an array containing information about which forms should be
   --  stored, or an empty array to indicate that all forms should be stored.

   procedure Store (Clipboard : Gtk_Clipboard);
   --  Stores the current clipboard data somewhere so that it will stay
   --  around after the application has quit.

   function Get_Owner (Clipboard : Gtk_Clipboard) return Glib.Object.GObject;
   --  If the clipboard contents callbacks were set with Set_With_Owner, and
   --  the Set_With_Data or Clear has not subsequently called, returns the
   --  owner set by Set_With_Owner.

   procedure Clear (Clipboard : Gtk_Clipboard);
   --  Clear the contents of the clipboard.
   --  Generally this should only be called between the time you call
   --  Set_With_Owner or Set_With_Data, and when the Clear_Func you supplied
   --  is called. Otherwise, the clipboard may be owned by someone else.
