REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11. owner The new owner of the selection. The special value XCB_NONE means that the selection will have no owner. selection The selection. time Timestamp to avoid race conditions when running X over the network. The selection will not be changed if time is earlier than the current last- change time of the selection or is later than the current X server time. Otherwise, the last-change time is set to the specified time. The special value XCB_CURRENT_TIME will be replaced with the current server time.
DESCRIPTION
