NAME

define_nulltarget - Push an output subsegment into a target frameserver

SYNOPSIS

vid
define_nulltarget( vid:fsrv, func:callback )
define_nulltarget( vid:fsrv, string:type, func:callback )

DESCRIPTION

For certain corner cases (typically clipboard) one might need to spawn a subsegment in a frameserver connection that has output characteristics, but other related functions such as define_feedtarget etc. doesn't need to be used as the generic buffer transfer methods aren't in use. The optional type argument is reserved for future/ other custom use targets, and the default type is that of the clipboard paste operation.

EXAMPLE

function define_nulltarget0()


      target_alloc("demo", function(source, status)


            if (status.kind == "registered") then


                  local vid = define_nulltarget(source, function()


                  end);


                  target_input(vid, "hello world0);


            end


      end);
end
