XMCONTAINERCUT(3)

💖 XmContainerCut — bestie's guide to yeeting items onto the clipboard 💖

okay so this one is XmContainerCut, and it lives in the library call section of the manual. she's a Container widget function, and her whole job? moving items to the clipboard. that's it. that's the girl. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Container.h>
Boolean XmContainerCut(
Widget container,
Time timestamp);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so XmContainerCut cuts the primary selected items to the clipboard. the primary selected items. not all of them, not some random ones — the primary selection. she knows what she's doing. 💅

here's the tea on how she does it: this routine calls the XmNconvertCallback procedures, possibly multiple times, with the selection member of the XmConvertCallbackStruct set to CLIPBOARD and with the parm member set to XmMOVE. so yeah, she's out here doing the callback thing repeatedly, no big deal, main character behavior fr fr.

and then — and this is the part where she really eats — if the transfer is successful, this routine then calls the XmNconvertCallback procedures for the CLIPBOARD selection and the DELETE target. 🔥

• container — specifies the Container widget ID. that's your container bestie, the one you're cutting from 🫶
• timestamp — specifies the server time at which to modify the selection value. yes, time. server time. she's punctual like that ⭐

🌈 RETURN 🌈

the function returns False in the following cases, and listen, this is important, no cap:

• if the primary selection is NULL 😭
• if the widget does not own the primary selection 😭
• if the function is unable to gain ownership of the clipboard selection 😭

otherwise? it returns True. and that's the vibe check passing. slay. 👑
