XStoreBuffer()							XStoreBuffer()

Name
  XStoreBuffer – store data in a cut buffer.

Synopsis
  XStoreBuffer(display, bytes, nbytes, buffer)
	Display *display;
	char bytes[];
	int nbytes;
	int buffer;

Arguments
  display  Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDis‐
	   play().

  bytes	   Specifies the string of  bytes  you	want  stored.	The  byte
	   string is not necessarily ASCII or NULL-terminated.

  nbytes   Specifies the number of bytes in the string.

  buffer   Specifies  the  cut	buffer in which to store the byte string.
	   Must be in the range 0-7.

Description
  XStoreBuffer() stores the specified data into any one of the eight  cut
  buffers.  All eight buffers must be stored into before they can be cir‐
  culated with XRotateBuffers().  The cut buffers are numbered 0  through
  7.  Use XFetchBuffer() to recover data from any cut buffer.

  Note	that  selections  are  the  preferred method of transferring data
  between applications.

  For more information on cut buffers, see Volume One, Chapter 15,  Other
  Programming Techniques.  For more information on selections, see Volume
  One, Chapter 12, Interclient Communication.
