   Request function

       xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_set_selection_owner(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t owner,

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

       selection The selection.

       time      Timestamp to avoid race conditions when running X over the network.

                 The  selection  will not be changed if time is earlier than the current last-change time of the
                 selection or is later than the current X server time.  Otherwise, the last-change time  is  set
                 to the specified time.

                 The special value XCB_CURRENT_TIME will be replaced with the current server time.

       er_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
