Chapter 8 - Shutdown Manager / The Shutdown Process

Saving the Desk Scrap

Having sent a good-bye message to any open driver that requested one, ShutDwnPower next calls the Scrap Manager function UnloadScrap to write the desk scrap, if any, from the Clipboard to the disk. Later, when the user restarts the computer, your application can retrieve the desk scrap by calling the LoadScrap function, as described in the chapter "Scrap Manager" of Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox.
