REPLY FIELDS

       response_type
                 The type of this reply, in this case XCB_GET_SELECTION_OWNER. This field is also
                 present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell replies apart from
                 each other.

       sequence  The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.

       length    The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).

       owner     The current selection owner window.

DESCRIPTION

       Gets the owner of the specified selection.

       TODO: briefly explain what a selection is.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns an xcb_get_selection_owner_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the
       reply function xcb_get_selection_owner_reply.

       If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use
       xcb_get_selection_owner_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

       xcb_atom_error_t
                 selection does not refer to a valid atom.
