XCLIPBOARD(1)       X Version 11 (Release 4)        XCLIPBOARD(1)



  NAME
       xclipboard - X clipboard client


  SYNOPSIS
       xclipboard [ -toolkitoption ...] [-w] [-nw]

  DESCRIPTION
       The xclipboard program is used to collect and display text
       selections that are sent to the CLIPBOARD by other clients.
       It is typically used to save CLIPBOARD selections for later
       use.  It stores each CLIPBOARD selection as a separate
       string, each of which can be selected.  Each time CLIPBOARD
       is asserted by another application, xclipboard transfers the
       contents of that selection to a new buffer and displays it
       in the text window.  Buffers are never automatically
       deleted, so you'll want to use the delete button to get rid
       of useless items.

       Since xclipboard uses a Text Widget to display the contents
       of the clipboard, text sent to the CLIPBOARD may be re-
       selected for use in other applications.  xclipboard also
       responds to requests for the CLIPBOARD selection from other
       clients by sending the entire contents of the currently
       displayed buffer.

       An xclipboard window has the following buttons across the
       top:

       quit    When this button is pressed, xclipboard exits.

       delete  When this button is pressed, the current buffer is
               deleted and the next one displayed.

       new     Creates a new buffer with no contents.  Useful in
               constructing a new CLIPBOARD selection by hand.

       next    Displays the next buffer in the list.

  OPTIONS
       The xclipboard program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit
       command line options as well as the following:

       -w      This option indicates that lines of text that are
               too long to be displayed on one line in the
               clipboard should wrap around to the following lines.

       -nw     This option indicates that long lines of text should
               not wrap around.  This is the default behavior.

  WIDGETS
       In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the
       hierarchy of the widgets which compose xclipboard.  In the
       notation below, indentation indicates hierarchical
       structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed
       by the widget instance name.

  SENDING/RETRIEVING CLIPBOARD CONTENTS
       Text is copied to the clipboard whenever a client asserts
       ownership of the CLIPBOARD selection.  Text is copied from
       the clipboard whenever a client requests the contents of the
       CLIPBOARD selection.  Examples of event bindings that a user
       may wish to include in a resource configuration file to use
       the clipboard are:

       *VT100.Translations: #override \
