;;; Commentary:

;; Based partially on earlier release by Lucid.

;; The functionality here is divided in two parts:
;; - Low-level: gui-get-selection, gui-set-selection, gui-selection-owner-p,
;;   gui-selection-exists-p are the backend-dependent functions meant to access
;;   various kinds of selections (CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, SECONDARY).
;; - Higher-level: gui-select-text and gui-selection-value go together to
;;   access the general notion of "GUI selection" for interoperation with other
;;   applications.  This can use either the clipboard or the primary selection,
;;   or both or none according to select-enable-clipboard/primary.  These are
;;   the default values of interprogram-cut/paste-function.
;;   Additionally, there's gui-get-primary-selection which is used to get the
;;   PRIMARY selection, specifically for mouse-yank-primary.

(defcustom selection-coding-system nil
  "Coding system for communicating with other programs.

For MS-Windows and MS-DOS:
When sending or receiving text via selection and clipboard, the text
is encoded or decoded by this coding system.  The default value is
the current system default encoding on 9x/Me, `utf-16le-dos'
\(Unicode) on NT/W2K/XP, and `iso-latin-1-dos' on MS-DOS.

For X Windows:
When sending text via selection and clipboard, if the target
data-type matches with the type of this coding system, it is used
for encoding the text.  Otherwise (including the case that this
variable is nil), a proper coding system is used as below:

data-type       coding system

UTF8_STRING     utf-8
COMPOUND_TEXT   compound-text-with-extensions
STRING          iso-latin-1
C_STRING        no-conversion

When receiving text, if this coding system is non-nil, it is used
for decoding regardless of the data-type.  If this is nil, a
proper coding system is used according to the data-type as above.

See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
to control which data-type to request for receiving text.
