     XmClipboardUnlock(Xm)                          UNIX System V



     NAME
          XmClipboardUnlock - a clipboard function  that  unlocks  the
          clipboard.



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

          int XmClipboardUnlock (display, window, remove_all_locks)
               Display   * display;
               Window    window;
               Boolean   remove_all_locks;



     DESCRIPTION
          XmClipboardUnlock unlocks the clipboard, enabling it  to  be
          accessed by other applications.

          If multiple calls to XmClipboardLock have occurred, then the
          same  number  of  calls to XmClipboardUnlock is necessary to
          unlock the clipboard,  unless  remove_all_locks  is  set  to
          True.

          The application should lock the  clipboard  before  multiple
          calls   to   XmClipboardCopyByName  and  should  unlock  the
          clipboard after completion.


          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.

          remove_all_locks
                      Indicates  that  all  nested  locks  should   be
                      removed,  when True.  When False, indicates that
                      only one level of lock should be removed.



     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.
