\section{\module{Carbon.Scrap} --- Scrap Manager}
\declaremodule{standard}{Carbon.Scrap}
\platform{Mac}
\modulesynopsis{The Scrap Manager provides basic services for
implementing cut \&\ paste and clipboard operations.}
This module is only fully available on MacOS9 and earlier under
classic PPC MacPython. Very limited functionality is available under
Carbon MacPython.
The Scrap\index{Scrap Manager} Manager supports the simplest form of
cut \&\ paste operations on the Macintosh. It can be use for both
inter- and intra-application clipboard operations.
The \module{Scrap} module provides low-level access to the functions
of the Scrap Manager. It contains the following functions:
\begin{funcdesc}{InfoScrap}{}
Return current information about the scrap. The information is
encoded as a tuple containing the fields \code{(\var{size},
\var{handle}, \var{count}, \var{state}, \var{path})}.
\begin{tableii}{l|l}{var}{Field}{Meaning}
\lineii{size}{Size of the scrap in bytes.}
\lineii{handle}{Resource object representing the scrap.}
\lineii{count}{Serial number of the scrap contents.}
\lineii{state}{Integer; positive if in memory, \code{0} if on
disk, negative if uninitialized.}
\lineii{path}{Filename of the scrap when stored on disk.}
\end{tableii}
\end{funcdesc}
