clipboard contents are normally lost. Optionally, Emacs can save the
existing clipboard contents to the kill ring, preventing you from
losing the old clipboard data. If
-@code{save-interprogram-paste-before-kill} changed to a number, then
-this data is copied over if it's smaller (in characters) than this
-number. If this variable is any other non-@code{nil} value, it's
-always copied over---at the risk of high memory consumption if that
-data turns out to be large.

Yank commands, such as @kbd{C-y} (@code{yank}), also use the
clipboard. If another application ``owns'' the clipboard---i.e., if
instance, a web browser will usually let you choose ``Copy Image'' on
images, and this image will be put on the clipboard. On capable
platforms, Emacs can yank these objects with the @code{yank-media}
-command---but only in modes that have support for it (@pxref{Yanking
-Media,,, elisp, The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual}).
