32For MS-Windows and MS-DOS:
33When sending or receiving text via selection and clipboard, the text
34is encoded or decoded by this coding system. The default value is
35the current system default encoding on 9x/Me, `utf-16le-dos'
36\(Unicode) on NT/W2K/XP, and `iso-latin-1-dos' on MS-DOS.
37
38For X Windows:
50259798

39When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
40data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
41for encoding the text. Otherwise (including the case that this
42variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:
43
44data-type coding system
45--------- -------------
46UTF8_STRING utf-8
47COMPOUND_TEXT compound-text-with-extensions
48STRING iso-latin-1
49C_STRING no-conversion
50
51When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
52for decoding regardless of the data-type. If this is nil, a
53proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.
54
55See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
56to control which data-type to request for receiving text.

127The argument TYPE (nil means `PRIMARY') says which selection, and
128DATA specifies the contents. TYPE must be a symbol. \(It can also
129be a string, which stands for the symbol with that name, but this
130is considered obsolete.) DATA may be a string, a symbol, an
131integer (or a cons of two integers or list of two integers).
132
133The selection may also be a cons of two markers pointing to the same buffer,
134or an overlay. In these cases, the selection is considered to be the text
135between the markers *at whatever time the selection is examined*.
136Thus, editing done in the buffer after you specify the selection
137can alter the effective value of the selection.
138
139The data may also be a vector of valid non-vector selection values.
