I never found a way to check without simply trying. > Selections are a means of communication between clients using properties and events. Properties are pieces of arbitrary information attached to windows by clients, each of which is to consist of name, type, data format and some data. Conceptually, properties belong to clients' windows; however, the memory for them is allocated in the server and owned by it, neither in nor by any of clients. The server doesn't allocate memory for properties until it is asked to do so by clients. In addition, the amount of available memory for that is allowed to vary at runtime. All they indicate that, in general, we can't tell a priori how small the system is, as a large system can behave like a small system with respect to selections when the whole system comes to running out of memory. > > > > If you type the command: > > :e ~s<Tab> > > I see the same 'minimal' == 'only /etc/passwd' set of users. > (as in the other answer: 'getent passwd | grep ...' does > find only those too.) > > Stucki > > -- > Christoph von Stuckrad * * | also XMPP = |Mail <[email protected]> > \ > Freie Universitaet Berlin |/_*| 'jabber' via|Tel(Mo.,Mi.):+49 30 838-75 > 459| > IT Mathematik & Informatik|\ *|stucki@jabber| (Di,Do,Fr):+49 30 77 39 > 6600| > Takustr. 9 / 14195 Berlin * * |.fu-berlin.de|Fax(home): +49 30 77 39 > 6601/ > > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
