30 "Coding system for communicating with other X clients.
31
32When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
33data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
34for encoding the text. Otherwise (including the case that this
35variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:
36
37data-type coding system
38--------- -------------
39UTF8_STRING utf-8
40COMPOUND_TEXT compound-text-with-extensions
41STRING iso-latin-1
42C_STRING no-conversion
43
44When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
45for decoding regardless of the data-type. If this is nil, a
46proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.
47
48See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
49to control which data-type to request for receiving text.

119TYPE is a symbol specifying the selection type. This is normally
120one of `PRIMARY', `SECONDARY', or `CLIPBOARD'; or nil, which is
121equivalent to `PRIMARY'. (It can also be a string, which stands
122for the symbol with that name, but this usage is obsolete.)
123
124DATA is a selection value. It should be one of the following:
125 - a vector of non-vector selection values
126 - a string
127 - an integer
128 - a cons cell of two markers pointing to the same buffer
129 - an overlay
130In the latter two cases, the selection is considered to be the
131text between the markers at whatever time the selection is
132examined. Thus, editing done in the buffer after you specify the
133selection can alter the effective value of the selection.
