The generic function
dde-server-request
is called in response to a request transaction. A method specializing on the classes of
server
and
topic
should return the data in
item
.
The expected format of the data is given by
format
, which defaults to
: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.
