It is kinda wild that Apple's Objective-C NSPasteboard API is a wrapper over a (private) CFPasteboard API, and there's an awkward Carbon-era C Pasteboard API in ApplicationServices that's also a wrapper over the same (private) CFPasteboard API, but that CFPasteboard API itself is not publicly exposed.

It exists, and it works, but it's not in any of the headers so you can't really use it.
