**Tk\_ClearSelection** cancels the selection specified by the atom *selection* for the display containing *tkwin*. The selection need not be in *tkwin* itself or even in *tkwin*'s application. If there is a window anywhere on *tkwin*'s display that owns *selection*, the window will be notified and the selection will be cleared. If there is no owner for *selection* on the display, then the procedure has no effect.
