   Request function
       xcbvoidcookiet xcbsetselectionowner(xcbconnectiont *conn,

                 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 XCBCURRENTTIME will be replaced with the
                 current server time.

DESCRIPTION

       change time of the specified selection.

       TODO: briefly explain what a selection is.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns an xcbvoidcookiet. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the
       event loop.

       If you want to handle errors directly with xcbrequestcheck instead,
       use xcbsetselectionownerchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
