  30   "Coding system for communicating with other programs.
  31
  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.
  37
  38 For X Windows:
  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:
  43
  44 data-type       coding system
  45 ---------       -------------
  46 UTF8_STRING     utf-8
  47 COMPOUND_TEXT   compound-text-with-extensions
  48 STRING          iso-latin-1
  49 C_STRING        no-conversion
  50
  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.
  54
  55 See also the documentation of the variable `x-select-request-type' how
  56 to control which data-type to request for receiving text.
  57
  58 The default value is nil."
