'''selection own''' ''?-'''''displayof''''' window? ?-'''''selection''''' selection?''

'''selection own''' ''?-'''''command''''' command? ?-'''''selection''''' selection? window''

The first form of '''selection own''' returns the path name of the window in this application that owns ''selection'' on the display containing ''window'', or an empty string if no window in this application owns the selection. ''Selection'' defaults to PRIMARY and ''window'' defaults to "'''.'''".

The second form of '''selection own''' causes ''window'' to become the new owner of ''selection'' on ''window'' 's display, returning an empty string as result. The existing owner, if any, is notified that it has lost the selection. If ''command'' is specified, it is a Tcl script to execute when some other window claims ownership of the selection away from ''window''. ''Selection'' defaults to PRIMARY.
