+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+These two procedures manage the clipboard for Tk.
+The clipboard is typically managed by calling \fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR
+once, then calling \fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR to add data for any
+number of targets.
+.PP
+\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR claims the CLIPBOARD selection and frees any
+data items previously stored on the clipboard in this application.
+It normally returns \fBTCL_OK\fR, but if an error occurs it returns
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leaves an error message in \fIinterp->result\fR.
+\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR must be called before a sequence of
+\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR calls can be issued.
+.PP
+\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR appends a buffer of data to the clipboard.
+The first buffer for a given \fItarget\fR determines the \fIformat\fR
+for that \fItarget\fR.
+Any successive appends for that \fItarget\fR must have
+the same format or an error will be returned.
+\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR returns \fBTCL_OK\fR if the buffer is
+successfully copied onto the clipboard. If the clipboard is not
+currently owned by the application, either
+because \fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR has not been called or because
+ownership of the clipboard has changed since the last call to
+\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR,
+\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and leaves an error message in
+\fIinterp->result\fR.
+.PP
+In order to guarantee atomicity, no event handling should occur
+between \fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR and the following
+\fBTk_ClipboardAppend\fR calls (otherwise someone could retrieve
+a partially completed clipboard or claim ownership away from
+this application).
+.PP
+\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR may invoke callbacks, including arbitrary
+Tcl scripts, as a result of losing the CLIPBOARD selection, so
+any calling function should take care to be reentrant at the point
+\fBTk_ClipboardClear\fR is invoked.
