     NAME
          XmeNamedSink - A toolkit function that transfers data from
          the named selection to a widget

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/TransferP.h>
          Boolean XmeNamedSink(
          Widget widget,
          Atom named_selection,
          XtEnum op,
          XtPointer location_data,
          Time time);

     VERSION
          This page documents Motif 2.1.

     DESCRIPTION
          XmeNamedSink transfers data from the specified selection to
          a widget.

          This routine initializes an XmDestinationCallbackStruct with
          the selection member set to named_selection, the operation
          member set to the value of the op argument, the
          location_datamember set to the value of the location_data
          argument, and the time member set to the value of the time
          argument.  The location_data value contains information
          about the location where data is to be transferred.  If the
          value is NULL, the data is to be inserted at the widget's
          cursor position.  Otherwise, the type and interpretation of
          the value are specific to the widget class.

          This routine calls the widget's
          destinationPreHookProcXmQTtransfer trait method with this
          XmDestinationCallbackStruct.  It then calls the widget's
          XmNdestinationCallback procedures, if any.  Unless an
          XmNdestinationCallback procedure has called XmTransferDone
          with a status other than XmTRANSFER_DONE_DEFAULT, this
          routine calls the widget's destinationProc XmQTtransfer
          trait method after all transfers initiated by callback
          procedures have finished.  It is the responsibility of the
          XmNdestinationCallback procedures and the destinationProc
          method to transfer any data to the widget.

          If op is XmMOVE and the data is successfully transferred,
          XmeNamedSink asks the owner of the selection named by
          named_selection to convert that selection to the DELETE
          target.  If the selection owner has called XmeNamedSource to
          take ownership of the selection, this conversion request
          first calls the owner's XmNconvertCallback procedures, if
          any.  If no XmNconvertCallback procedures exist or if these
          procedures return a status of XmCONVERT_DEFAULT or
          XmCONVERT_MERGE, this request then calls the owner's
          convertProc XmQTtransfertrait method.

          widget    Specifies the widget that is the destination for
                    the data.

          named_selection
                    Specifies the desired selection from which to
                    obtain the data.

          op        Specifies the transfer operation.  Possible values
                    are XmCOPY, XmMOVE, and XmLINK.

          location_data
                    Specifies information about the location where
                    data is to be transferred.  If the value is NULL,
                    the data is to be inserted at the widget's cursor
                    position.  Otherwise, the type and interpretation
                    of the value are specific to the widget class. If
                    location_data cannot fit inside an XtPointer,
                    location_data must either be a static variable or
                    be allocated. If location_data is allocated, a
                    call must be made to XmeTransferAddDoneProc to
                    establish a procedure to free the allocated
                    memory. The value of location_data is only valid
                    for the duration of a transfer.  Once transfer
                    done procedures start to be called, location_data
                    will no longer be stable.

          time      Specifies the time of the transfer.  This is
                    usually the timestamp from the event passed to an
                    action routine.  You should call
                    XtLastTimeStampProcessed to generate the
                    timevalue.  If you set time to CurrentTime or 0,
                    UTM will automatically change the call to
                    XtLastTimeStampProcessed.

     RETURN
          This function returns False if no transfers take place.
          Otherwise, it returns True.
