+ * # 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.
