These functions provide a low level interface for drag and drop. The X backend of GDK supports both the Xdnd and Motif drag and drop protocols transparently, the Win32 backend supports the WM_DROPFILES protocol.
GTK+ provides a higher level abstraction based on top of these functions, and so they are not normally needed in GTK+ applications. See the Drag and Drop section of the GTK+ documentation for more information.

| The Motif DND protocol. No longer supported | |
| The Xdnd protocol. | |

Used in GdkDragContext to indicate what the destination should do with the dropped data.
| Means nothing, and should not be used. | |
| Copy the data. | |
| Move the data, i.e. first copy it, then delete it from the source using the DELETE target of the X selection protocol. | |
| Add a link to the data. Note that this is only useful if source and destination agree on what it means. | |
