This variable specifies the coding system to use when reading and
writing selections or the clipboard. @xref{Coding
Systems}. The default is @code{compound-text-with-extensions}, which
converts to the text representation that X11 normally uses.
This variable provides a coding system (@pxref{Coding Systems}) which
is used to encode selection data, and takes effect on MS-DOS,
MS-Windows and X@.
Under MS-DOS and MS-Windows, it is the coding system by which all
clipboard text will be encoded and decoded, whereas on X it merely
supplies the EOL format of the selection text sent in response to a
request for text encoded by a matching coding system; which is to say
that if its value is @code{utf-8-dos}, it will influence requests for
@code{UTF8_STRING} data, but not those for @code{STRING}.
Its default value is the system code page under MS-Windows 95, 98 or
Me, @code{utf-16le-dos} under NT/W2K/XP, @code{iso-latin-1-dos} on
MS-DOS, and @code{nil} elsewhere.

The X Direct Save (@acronym{XDS}) protocol enables programs to
devolve responsibility for naming a dropped file file upon the
recipient. When such a drop transpires, DND handlers and the
foregoing X-specific interface are largely circumvented, tasking a
different function with responding to the drop.
