/**
 * @defgroup CopyPaste CopyPaste
 *
 * Implements the following functionality
 *    a. select, copy/cut and paste
 *    b. clipboard
 *    c. drag and drop
 * in order to share data across application windows.
 *
 * Contains functions to select text or a portion of data,
 * send it to a buffer, and paste the data into a target.
 *
 * elm_cnp provides a generic copy and paste facility based on its windowing system.
 * It is not necessary to know the details of each windowing system,
 * but some terms and behavior are common.
 * Currently the X11 window system is widely used, and only X11 functionality is implemented.
 *
 * In X11R6 window system, CopyPaste works like a peer-to-peer communication.
 * Copying is an operation on an object in an X server.
 * X11 calls those objects 'selections' which have names.
 * Generally, two selection types are needed for copy and paste:
 * The Primary selection and the Clipboard selection.
 * Primary selection is for selecting text (that means highlighted text).
 * Clipboard selection is for explicit copying behavior
 * (such as ctrl+c, or 'copy' in a menu).
 * Thus, in applications most cases only use the clipboard selection.
 * As stated before, taking ownership of a selection doesn't move any actual data.
 * Copying and Pasting is described as follows:
 *  1. Copy text in Program A : Program A takes ownership of the selection
 *  2. Paste text in Program B : Program B notes that Program A owns the selection
 *  3. Program B asks A for the text
 *  4. Program A responds and sends the text to program B
 *  5. Program B pastes the response
 * More information is on
 *  - http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html
 *  - X11R6 Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual, section 2
 *
 * TODO: add for other window system.
