     NAME
          XmClipboardEndCopy-A clipboard function that ends a copy to
          the clipboard

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>
          #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

          int XmClipboardEndCopy (display, window, item_id)
               Display   * display;
               Window    window;
               long      item_id;


     DESCRIPTION
          XmClipboardEndCopy locks the clipboard from access by other
          applications, places data in the clipboard data structure,
          and unlocks the clipboard.  Data items copied to the
          clipboard by XmClipboardCopy are not actually entered in the
          clipboard data structure until the call to
          XmClipboardEndCopy.

          This function also frees up temporary storage that was
          allocated by XmClipboardStartCopy, which must be called
          before XmClipboardEndCopy.  The latter function should not
          be called if XmClipboardCancelCopy has been called.


          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.

          item_id     Specifies the number assigned to this data item.
                      This number was returned by a previous call to
                      XmClipboardStartCopy.


     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



     1                                                (printed 6/8/92)

                      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.

          ClipboardFail
                      The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy
                      was not called.
