a) "ret" is the return address of the function.
b) the return value is posted at the end of the line (retval).

The command

% find WINESRCTREE -name "*user32*"

  produces the directory 'dlls/user'.

The command

% grep 'define CF_TEXT' . -r
./include/winuser.h:3654:#define CF_TEXT              1

  shows it.
