Clear X clipboard contents

I want to write a small C program to clear the X clipboard contents (or set it to "" or something). I've been looking at the xset code but I can't make out what actually sets the contents. Can someone help me out?

Hmm, why are you asking again a question someone already answered to you ?

If the problem is C++ and QT, have a look at xclip http://people.debian.org/~kims/xclip/

I'm asking again because those programs are nice but kind of overkill for what I want. I don't need super clipboard managing capabilities, I just want something to clear it.

I'd suggest you to run "xclip -i /dev/null" under a debugger, step by step, and keep only the functions and instructions used.
