NAME
       XmClipboardInquirePendingItems--A clipboard function that returns a
       list of dataid/privateid pairs

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

       int XmClipboardInquirePendingItems (display, window, formatname,
                 itemlist, count)
            Display          * display;
            Window           window;
            char             * formatname;
            XmClipboardPendingList* itemlist;
            unsigned long    * count;


DESCRIPTION
       XmClipboardInquirePendingItems returns a list of dataid/privateid
       pairs for the specified format name.  A data item is considered
       pending if the application originally passed it by name, the
       application has not yet copied the data, and the item has not been
       deleted from the clipboard.  The application is responsible for
       freeing the memory provided by this function to store the list.  To
       free the memory, call XtFree.

       This function is used by an application when exiting, to determine if
       the data that is passed by name should be sent to the clipboard.


       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 of the clipboard functions that it calls.

       formatname Specifies a string that contains the name of the format
                   for which the list of data ID/private ID pairs is to be
                   obtained.

       itemlist   Specifies the address of the array of data ID/private ID
                   pairs for the specified format name.  This argument is a
                   type XmClipboardPendingList.  The application is
                   responsible for freeing the memory provided by this
                   function for storing the list.

       count       Specifies the number of items returned in the list.  If
                   there is no data for the specified format name, or if
                   there is no item on the clipboard, this argument equals
                   zero.


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.
