30 "Coding system for communicating with other programs.
32 For MS-Windows and MS-DOS:
33 When sending or receiving text via selection and clipboard, the text
34 is encoded or decoded by this coding system. The default value is
35 the current system default encoding on 9x/Me, `utf-16le-dos'
36 \(Unicode) on NT/W2K/XP, and `iso-latin-1-dos' on MS-DOS.
39 When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
40 data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
41 for encoding the text. Otherwise (including the case that this
42 variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:
44 data-type coding system
45 --------- -------------
47 COMPOUND_TEXT compound-text-with-extensions
49 C_STRING no-conversion
51 When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
52 for decoding regardless of the data-type. If this is nil, a
53 proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.
55 See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
56 to control which data-type to request for receiving text.
58 The default value is nil."
