xclipboard(X) X Version 11 (11 July 1990) xclipboard(X)
NAME
xclipboard - X clipboard client
SYNOPSIS
xclipboard [ -options ...]
DESCRIPTION
The xclipboard program collects and displays text selections
that other clients send to the CLIPBOARD. It is typically
used to gather together and hold blocks of text that have
been selected from different places.
Since xclipboard uses a Text Widget to display the contents
of the clipboard, text sent to the CLIPBOARD can be
reselected to use in other applications.
The xclipboard window has the following two buttons across
the top:
quit When you press this button, xclipboard exits.
erase
When you press this button, the contents of the text
window are erased. Note: This button is not
implemented yet.
OPTIONS

command-line options as well as the following:
-w Specifies that text lines that are too long for the
clipboard display should wrap around to the following
lines.
-nw Indicates that long lines of text should not wrap
around.
SENDING TO THE CLIPBOARD

ownership of the CLIPBOARD selection. You can use any of the
following event bindings in your resource configuration
