XStoreBytes()							 XStoreBytes()

Name
  XStoreBytes – store data in cut buffer 0.

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

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

  bytes	   Specifies the string of bytes to store.  The	 byte  string  is
	   not necessarily ASCII or NULL-terminated.

  nbytes   Specifies the number of bytes to store.

Description
  XStoreBytes()	 stores	 data  in  cut	buffer	0, usually for reading by
  another client that already knows the meaning of  the	 contents.   Note
  that	the cut buffer's contents need not be text, so null bytes are not
  special.

  The cut buffer's contents may be retrieved later by any client  calling
  XFetchBytes().

  Use  XStoreBuffer() to store data in buffers 1-7.  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.

Errors
  BadAlloc
