Arguments: format object
Pushes object onto the clipboard and trims the clipboard to
(clipboard-history-limit (configuration *system*)) items if necessary. The
new item is also placed into the Windows clipboard, ready to be pasted
by other applications.
The format argument should be one of (:text :rich-text :pixmap) and should correspond to the type of object being placed onto the clipboard. Any object may be passed with the :text format, in which case the actual object is placed onto the lisp clipboard stack for pasting within lisp, while a string representation of the object is placed onto the Windows clipboard for pasting into other applications. When using the :rich-text format, the object must be a string which is a valid piece of rich text, and when using the :pixmap format the object must be a Common Graphics pixmap, which is placed onto the Windows clipboard using the "device-independent bitmap" format.
In releases prior to 6.0, the second argument was a window, not a format. A window argument was not useful, while a format argument is. For backward compatibility, if a window or nil is passed as the format, the function will act as if :text were passed.
