 SEL_CONFIG 4 "Jul 20, 2007"
 NAME
sel_config - selection rules for copy, cut, paste, drag and drop operations
 SYNOPSIS

/usr/dt/config/sel_config


 DESCRIPTION

The sel_config file specifies how a system that is configured with
Trusted Extensions behaves when a user transfers data between windows that have
different labels. Transfer operations include cut-and-paste, copy-and-paste,
and drag-and-drop. There are two types of entries in this file: automatic
confirmation and automatic reply.
 "Automatic Confirmation"

This type of entry specifies whether a confirmation window, the selection
confirmer, displays. Each entry has the form:
relationship: confirmation


relationship identifies the result of comparing the selected data's
source and destination windows' labels. There are three allowed values:
upgradesl

The source window's label is less than the destination window's label.


downgradesl

The source window's label is higher than the destination window's label.


disjointsl

The source and destination windows' labels are disjoint. Neither label
dominates the other.


confirmation specifies whether to perform automatic confirmation. Allowed
values are:
n

Use manual confirmation, that is, display the selection confirmer window. This
is the default.


y

Use automatic confirmation, that is, do not display the selection confirmer
window.


 "Automatic Reply"

A single user operation can involve several flows of information between the
source and destination windows. The automatic reply set of entries provides a
means to reduce the number of confirmations that are required of the user.

There must be one entry of this form:
autoreply: value


If value is y (for yes), then the remaining entries of the set are
used as attributes for the selection data (rather than the actual contents) to
complete the operation without confirmation. If value is n (for
no), then the remaining entries are ignored.

Defaults can be specified for any type field that appears in the
Confirmer window. Below are some sample entries for defaults.
replytype: TARGETS
replytype: Pixel Sets
replytype: LENGTH
replytype: Type Of Monitor


The TARGETS entry, when used, returns the list of target atoms that are
supported by the source window. The Pixel Sets and Type Of Monitor
entries are used for animation during a drag-and-drop operation. The
LENGTH entry specifies the number of bytes in the selection.
 ATTRIBUTES
