The generic function
dde-server-poke
is called in response to a poke transaction. A method specializing on the classes of
server
and
topic
should poke the data given by
data
into the item specified by
item
.
The keyword
format
indicates the format in which the item is being requested. By default, only text transfers are supported (and the
format
argument will have the value
:text
).
The set of supported formats may be extended in future releases, so applications should always check the value of the format parameter and reject transactions which use formats not supported by the application.
If the poke transaction is successful, non-nil should be returned, and
nil
should be returned for failure.
