/**
 * SECTION:selections
 * @Short_description: Functions for transfering data via the X selection mechanism
 * @Title: Selections
 *
 * The X selection mechanism provides a way to transfer arbitrary chunks of
 * data between programs. A “selection” is a essentially
 * a named clipboard, identified by a string interned as a #GdkAtom. By
 * claiming ownership of a selection, an application indicates that it will
 * be responsible for supplying its contents. The most common selections are
 * `PRIMARY` and `CLIPBOARD`.
 *
 * The contents of a selection can be represented in a number of formats,
 * called “targets”. Each target is identified by an atom.
 * A list of all possible targets supported by the selection owner can be
 * retrieved by requesting the special target `TARGETS`. When
 * a selection is retrieved, the data is accompanied by a type (an atom), and
 * a format (an integer, representing the number of bits per item).
 * See [Properties and Atoms][gdk3-Properties-and-Atoms]
 * for more information.
 *
 * The functions in this section only contain the lowlevel parts of the
 * selection protocol. A considerably more complicated implementation is needed
 * on top of this. GTK+ contains such an implementation in the functions in
 * `gtkselection.h` and programmers should use those functions
 * instead of the ones presented here. If you plan to implement selection
 * handling directly on top of the functions here, you should refer to the
 * X Inter-client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM).
