;;; Commentary:

;; Based partially on earlier release by Lucid.

;; The functionality here is divided in two parts:
;; - Low-level: gui-get-selection, gui-set-selection, gui-selection-owner-p,
;;   gui-selection-exists-p are the backend-dependent functions meant to access
;;   various kinds of selections (CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, SECONDARY).
;; - Higher-level: gui-select-text and gui-selection-value go together to
;;   access the general notion of "GUI selection" for interoperation with other
;;   applications.  This can use either the clipboard or the primary selection,
;;   or both or none according to select-enable-clipboard/primary.  These are
;;   the default values of interprogram-cut/paste-function.
;;   Additionally, there's gui-get-primary-selection which is used to get the
;;   PRIMARY selection, specifically for mouse-yank-primary.

;;; Code:

(defcustom selection-coding-system nil
  "Coding system for communicating with other programs.

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

For X Windows:
When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
for encoding the text.  Otherwise (including the case that this
variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:

data-type	coding system
---------	-------------
UTF8_STRING	utf-8
COMPOUND_TEXT	compound-text-with-extensions
STRING		iso-latin-1
C_STRING	no-conversion

When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
for decoding regardless of the data-type.  If this is nil, a
proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.

See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
to control which data-type to request for receiving text.

The argument TYPE (nil means `PRIMARY') says which selection, and

be a string, which stands for the symbol with that name, but this
is considered obsolete.)  DATA may be a string, a symbol, an
integer (or a cons of two integers or list of two integers).

The selection may also be a cons of two markers pointing to the same buffer,
or an overlay.  In these cases, the selection is considered to be the text
between the markers *at whatever time the selection is examined*.
Thus, editing done in the buffer after you specify the selection
can alter the effective value of the selection.

The data may also be a vector of valid non-vector selection values.

The return value is DATA.

Interactively, this command sets the primary selection.  Without
prefix argument, it reads the selection in the minibuffer.  With
prefix argument, it uses the text of the region as the selection value.

Note that on MS-Windows, primary and secondary selections set by Emacs
