-.SH ARGUMENTS
-.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
-Specifies the connection to the X server.
-.IP \fIowner\fP 1i
-Specifies the owner of the specified selection atom.
-You can pass a window or
-.ZN None .
-.IP \fIproperty\fP 1i
-Specifies the property name.
-You also can pass
-.ZN None .
-.IP \fIrequestor\fP 1i
-Specifies the requestor.
-.IP \fIselection\fP 1i
-Specifies the selection atom.
-.IP \fItarget\fP 1i
-Specifies the target atom.
-.IP \fItime\fP 1i
-Specifies the time.
-You can pass either a timestamp or
-.ZN CurrentTime .
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.ZN XSetSelectionOwner
-function changes the owner and last-change time for the specified selection
-and has no effect if the specified time is earlier than the current
-last-change time of the specified selection
-or is later than the current X server time.
-Otherwise, the last-change time is set to the specified time,
-with
-.ZN CurrentTime
-replaced by the current server time.
-If the owner window is specified as
-.ZN None ,
-then the owner of the selection becomes
-.ZN None
-(that is, no owner).
-Otherwise, the owner of the selection becomes the client executing
-the request.
-.LP
-If the new owner (whether a client or
-.ZN None )
-is not
-the same as the current owner of the selection and the current
-owner is not
-.ZN None ,
-the current owner is sent a
-.ZN SelectionClear
-event.
-If the client that is the owner of a selection is later
-terminated (that is, its connection is closed)
-or if the owner window it has specified in the request is later
-destroyed,
-the owner of the selection automatically
-reverts to
-.ZN None ,
-but the last-change time is not affected.
-The selection atom is uninterpreted by the X server.
-.ZN XGetSelectionOwner
-returns the owner window, which is reported in
-.ZN SelectionRequest
-and
-.ZN SelectionClear
-events.
-Selections are global to the X server.
-.LP
-.ZN XSetSelectionOwner
-can generate
-.ZN BadAtom
-and
-.ZN BadWindow
-errors.
-.LP
-The
-.ZN XGetSelectionOwner
-function
-returns the window ID associated with the window that currently owns the
-specified selection.
-If no selection was specified, the function returns the constant
-.ZN None .
-If
-.ZN None
-is returned,
-there is no owner for the selection.
-.LP
-.ZN XGetSelectionOwner
-can generate a
-.ZN BadAtom
-error.
-.LP
-.ZN XConvertSelection
-requests that the specified selection be converted to the specified target
-type:
-.IP \(bu 5
-If the specified selection has an owner, the X server sends a
-.ZN SelectionRequest
-event to that owner.
-.IP \(bu 5
-If no owner for the specified
-selection exists, the X server generates a
-.ZN SelectionNotify
-event to the
-requestor with property
-.ZN None .
-.LP
-The arguments are passed on unchanged in either of the events.
-There are two predefined selection atoms: PRIMARY and SECONDARY.
-.LP
-.ZN XConvertSelection
-can generate
-.ZN BadAtom
-and
-.ZN BadWindow
-errors.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-.TP 1i
-.ZN BadAtom
-A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
-.TP 1i
-.ZN BadWindow
-A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
