gdk_clipboard_get_display ()

GdkDisplay *
gdk_clipboard_get_display (GdkClipboard *clipboard);

Gets the GdkDisplay that the clipboard was created for.

gdk_clipboard_get_formats ()

GdkContentFormats *
gdk_clipboard_get_formats (GdkClipboard *clipboard);

Gets the formats that the clipboard can provide its current contents in.

gdk_clipboard_is_local ()

gboolean
gdk_clipboard_is_local (GdkClipboard *clipboard);

Returns if the clipboard is local. A clipboard is considered local if it was last claimed by the running application.

Note that gdk_clipboard_get_content() may return NULL even on a local clipboard. In this case the clipboard is empty.

gdk_clipboard_get_content ()

GdkContentProvider *
gdk_clipboard_get_content (GdkClipboard *clipboard);

Returns the GdkContentProvider currently set on clipboard . If the clipboard is empty or its contents are not owned by the current process, NULL will be returned.

gdk_clipboard_store_async ()

void
gdk_clipboard_store_async (GdkClipboard *clipboard,
                           int io_priority,
                           GCancellable *cancellable,
                           GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                           gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously instructs the clipboard to store its contents remotely to preserve them for later usage. If the clipboard is not local, this function does nothing but report success.

This function is called automatically when gtk_main() or GtkApplication exit, so you likely don't need to call it.

gdk_clipboard_store_finish ()

gboolean
gdk_clipboard_store_finish (GdkClipboard *clipboard,
                            GAsyncResult *result,

                          GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                          gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously requests an input stream to read the clipboard 's contents from. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call gdk_clipboard_read_finish() to get the result of the operation.

The clipboard will choose the most suitable mime type from the given list to fulfill the request, preferring the ones listed first.

                           GError **error);

                                GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously request the clipboard contents converted to the given type . When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call gdk_clipboard_read_value_finish() to get the resulting GValue.

For local clipboard contents that are available in the given GType, the value will be copied directly. Otherwise, GDK will try to use gdk_content_deserialize_async() to convert the clipboard's data.

gdk_clipboard_read_value_finish ()

const GValue *
gdk_clipboard_read_value_finish (GdkClipboard *clipboard,
                                 GAsyncResult *result,
                                 GError **error);

Finishes an asynchronous clipboard read started with gdk_clipboard_read_value_async().

gdk_clipboard_read_texture_async ()

                                  gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously request the clipboard contents converted to a GdkPixbuf. When the operation is finished callback will be called. You can then call gdk_clipboard_read_texture_finish() to get the result.

This is a simple wrapper around gdk_clipboard_read_value_async(). Use that function or gdk_clipboard_read_async() directly if you need more control over the operation.

gdk_clipboard_read_texture_finish ()

gboolean
gdk_clipboard_set_content (GdkClipboard *clipboard,
                           GdkContentProvider *provider);

Sets a new content provider on clipboard . The clipboard will claim the GdkDisplay's resources and advertise these new contents to other applications.

In the rare case of a failure, this function will return FALSE. The clipboard will then continue reporting its old contents and ignore provider .

If the contents are read by either an external application or the clipboard 's read functions, clipboard will select the best format to transfer the contents and then request that format from provider .
