LINUX X11剪贴板/clipboard访问C代码范例

真奇怪啊。关于LINUX剪贴板的C代码，网上完全找不到。找到的都是一些SHELL命令。

经过千辛万苦，自己理解，终于找到一个代码范例。

为了方便他人，提供代码如下（初步测试表明，图片取不到数据）：

• 标准情况：

// gcc -o xclipget xclipget.c -lX11
#include 
#include 
#include 

Bool PrintSelection(Display *display, Window window, const char *bufname, const char *fmtname)
{
  char *result;
  unsigned long ressize, restail;
  int resbits;
  Atom bufid = XInternAtom(display, bufname, False),
       fmtid = XInternAtom(display, fmtname, False),
       propid = XInternAtom(display, "XSEL_DATA", False),
       incrid = XInternAtom(display, "INCR", False);
  XEvent event;

  XConvertSelection(display, bufid, fmtid, propid, window, CurrentTime);
  do {
    XNextEvent(display, &event);
  } while (event.type != SelectionNotify || event.xselection.selection != bufid);

  if (event.xselection.property)
  {
    XGetWindowProperty(display, window, propid, 0, LONG_MAX/4, False, AnyPropertyType,
      &fmtid, &resbits, &ressize, &restail, (unsigned char**)&result);

    if (fmtid == incrid)
      printf("Buffer is too large and INCR reading is not implemented yet.\n");
    else
      printf("%.*s", (int)ressize, result);

    XFree(result);
    return True;
  }
  else // request failed, e.g. owner can't convert to the target format
    return False;
}

int main()
{
  Display *display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
  unsigned long color = BlackPixel(display, DefaultScreen(display));
  Window window = XCreateSimpleWindow(display, DefaultRootWindow(display), 0,0, 1,1, 0, color, color);
  Bool result = PrintSelection(display, window, "CLIPBOARD", "UTF8_STRING") ||
                PrintSelection(display, window, "CLIPBOARD", "STRING");
  XDestroyWindow(display, window);
  XCloseDisplay(display);
  return !result;
}

      } while (ressize > 0);

    return True;
