3.1.5.4.2 Processing a Format Data Request PDU
The fields of the Format Data Request PDU are specified in section 2.2.5.1.
The clipHeader field MUST be processed as specified in section 3.1.5.1. If the PDU is valid, the requested Clipboard Format ID MUST be extracted from the PDU and the clipboard data retrieved from the local clipboard. The retrieved clipboard data MUST then be encoded appropriately, depending on the type:
Metafile data MUST be encoded using the Packed Metafile Payload structure.
Palette data MUST be encoded using the Packed Palette Payload structure.
File List data MUST be encoded using the Packed File List structure.
If the clipboard data is not a metafile, palette, or file list, it is left unchanged.
The clipboard data MUST then be sent to the remote computer by using a Format Data Response PDU, as specified in section 3.1.5.4.3.
