     GETSNARF(3)                                           GETSNARF(3)

     NAME
          getsnarf, putsnarf - window system snarf (cut and paste)
          buffer

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <draw.h>

          char *getsnarf(void)

          void putsnarf(char *text)

     DESCRIPTION
          Getsnarf and putsnarf access the window system's snarf (cut
          and paste) buffer.

          Getsnarf returns a copy of the current buffer; the returned
          pointer should be freed with free (see malloc(3)) when no
          longer needed.

          Putsnarf sets the buffer to the text string text.

          Callers should assume that the snarf buffer is UTF.  If the
          window system does not keep the buffer in UTF, getsnarf and
          putsnarf will convert as necessary.
