65The argument TYPE (nil means `PRIMARY') says which selection, and
66DATA specifies the contents. TYPE must be a symbol. \(It can also
67be a string, which stands for the symbol with that name, but this
68is considered obsolete.) DATA may be a string, a symbol, an
69integer (or a cons of two integers or list of two integers).

71The selection may also be a cons of two markers pointing to the same buffer,
47fb2723 72or an overlay. In these cases, the selection is considered to be the text
5038b790
RS
73between the markers *at whatever time the selection is examined*.
74Thus, editing done in the buffer after you specify the selection
75can alter the effective value of the selection.
76
77The data may also be a vector of valid non-vector selection values.
78
15a24762
LT
79The return value is DATA.
