Arguments: clipboard-format
This generic function, new in release 6.0, is called whenever the contents of the Lisp clipboard stack changes. An application could add a method to this generic function to catch whenever this happens.
The lisp clipboard and the Windows clipboard usually change at the same time when functions such as push-lisp-clipboard, pop-lisp-clipboard, copy-command, and cut-command are called, but if the function (setf clipboard-object) is called directly to change the Windows clipboard, then the Lisp clipboard is not changed and clipboard-changed is not called.
The argument is the current value of (clipboard *system*),
reflecting the new state. This value is a list of conses, where the
car of each cons is an object on the clipboard and the cdr is one of
the symbols :text, :rich-text, or :pixmap indicating the Windows
clipboard format of that object. The default method does nothing, so
an application could simply replace it with a primary method
specializing on t, or add an :after method specializing on t.
