     SYNOPSIS

          #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

          int XmClipboardCopyByName (display, window, data_id,
                    buffer, length, private_id)
               Display   * display;
               Window    window;
               long      data_id;
               XtPointer buffer;

     DESCRIPTION
          XmClipboardCopyByName copies the actual data for a data item
          that was previously passed by name to the clipboard.  Data
          is considered to be passed by name when a call to
          XmClipboardCopy is made with a NULL buffer parameter.
          Additional calls to this function append new data to the
          existing data.

          display
               Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was
               returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or
               XtDisplay.

          window
               Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the
               application window to the clipboard.  The widget's
               window ID can be obtained by using XtWindow.  The same
               application instance should pass the same window ID to
               each clipboard function it calls.

          data_id
               Specifies an identifying number assigned to the data
               item that uniquely identifies the data item and the
               format.  This number was assigned by XmClipboardCopy to
               the data item.

          buffer
               Specifies the buffer from which the clipboard copies
               the data.

          length
               Specifies the number of bytes in the data item.

          private_id
               Specifies the private data that the application wants
               to store with the data item.

     RETURN VALUE
          ClipboardSuccess
               The function is successful.

          ClipboardLocked
               The function failed because the clipboard was locked by
               another application.  The application can continue to
               call the function again with the same parameters until
               the lock goes away.  This gives the application the
               opportunity to ask if the user wants to keep trying or
               to give up on the operation.
