client_data, time)
Widget w;
Atom selection;
Atom target;
XtSelectionCallbackProc callback;
XtPointer client_data;
Time time;
void XtGetSelectionValues(w, selection, targets, count,
callback, client_data, time)

ARGUMENTS
callback Specifies the callback procedure that is to be
called when the selection value has been obtained.
client_data
Specifies the argument that is to be passed to the
specified procedure when it is called.
client_data
Specifies the client data (one for each target
type) that is passed to the callback procedure
when it is called for that target.
count Specifies the length of the targets and
client_data lists.
selection Specifies the particular selection desired (that
is, primary or secondary).
target Specifies the type of the information that is

w Specifies the widget that is making the request.
DESCRIPTION
The XtGetSelectionValue function requests the value of the
selection that has been converted to the target type. The
specified callback will be called some time after
XtGetSelectionValue is called; in fact, it may be called
before or after XtGetSelectionValue returns.
The XtGetSelectionValues function is similar to
XtGetSelectionValue except that it takes a list of target
types and a list of client data and obtains the current
value of the selection converted to each of the targets.
The effect is as if each target were specified in a separate
call to XtGetSelectionValue. The callback is called once
with the corresponding client data for each target.
XtGetSelectionValues does guarantee that all the conversions
will use the same selection value because the ownership of
the selection cannot change in the middle of the list, as
would be when calling XtGetSelectionValue repeatedly.
