/**
* # CategoryClipboard
*
* SDL provides access to the system clipboard, both for reading information
* from other processes and publishing information of its own.
*
* This is not just text! SDL apps can access and publish data by mimetype.
*
* ## Basic use (text)
*
* Obtaining and publishing simple text to the system clipboard is as easy as
* calling SDL_GetClipboardText() and SDL_SetClipboardText(), respectively.
* These deal with C strings in UTF-8 encoding. Data transmission and encoding
* conversion is completely managed by SDL.
*
* ## Clipboard callbacks (data other than text)
*
* Things get more complicated when the clipboard contains something other
* than text. Not only can the system clipboard contain data of any type, in
* some cases it can contain the same data in different formats! For example,
* an image painting app might let the user copy a graphic to the clipboard,
* and offers it in .BMP, .JPG, or .PNG format for other apps to consume.
*
* Obtaining clipboard data ("pasting") like this is a matter of calling
* SDL_GetClipboardData() and telling it the mimetype of the data you want.
* But how does one know if that format is available? SDL_HasClipboardData()
* can report if a specific mimetype is offered, and
* SDL_GetClipboardMimeTypes() can provide the entire list of mimetypes
* available, so the app can decide what to do with the data and what formats
* it can support.
*
* Setting the clipboard ("copying") to arbitrary data is done with
* SDL_SetClipboardData. The app does not provide the data in this call, but
* rather the mimetypes it is willing to provide and a callback function.
* During the callback, the app will generate the data. This allows massive
* data sets to be provided to the clipboard, without any data being copied
* before it is explicitly requested. More specifically, it allows an app to
* offer data in multiple formats without providing a copy of all of them
* upfront. If the app has an image that it could provide in PNG or JPG
* format, it doesn't have to encode it to either of those unless and until
* something tries to paste it.
*
* ## Primary Selection
*
* The X11 and Wayland video targets have a concept of the "primary selection"
* in addition to the usual clipboard. This is generally highlighted (but not
* explicitly copied) text from various apps. SDL offers APIs for this through
* SDL_GetPrimarySelectionText() and SDL_SetPrimarySelectionText(). SDL offers
* these APIs on platforms without this concept, too, but only so far that it
* will keep a copy of a string that the app sets for later retrieval; the
* operating system will not ever attempt to change the string externally if
* it doesn't support a primary selection.
