int SDL_SetClipboardData(SDL_ClipboardDataCallback callback, size_t mime_count,
                         const char **mime_types, void *userdata);

Function Parameters

callback A function pointer to the function that provides the clipboard data

The userdata submitted to this function needs to be freed manually. The following scenarios need to be handled:
