NAME
       pbcopy, pbpaste - provide copying and pasting from command line

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/pbcopy

       /usr/bin/pbpaste [ -Prefer {ascii | rtf | ps} ]

DESCRIPTION
       pbcopy  takes  the  standard  input  and	 places	 it  in	 the  OPENSTEP
       pasteboard.  The input is placed in the pasteboard as ASCII data unless
       it begins with the Adobe Systems Encapsulated PostScript file header or
       the Microsoft Rich Text Format file header, in which case it is	placed
       in the pasteboard as one of those data types.

       pbpaste	removes	 the  data  from  the  pasteboard and writes it to the
       standard output.	 It  normally  looks  first  for  ASCII	 data  in  the
       pasteboard  and writes that to the standard output; if no ASCII data is
       in the pasteboard it looks for Encapsulated PostScript; if  no  EPS  if
       present	it  looks for Rich Text.  If none of those types is present in
       the pasteboard, paste produces no output.

OPTIONS
       -Prefer {ascii | rtf | ps}
	      tells pbpaste what type of data to look for  in  the  pasteboard
	      first.   As stated above, pbpaste normally looks first for ASCII
	      data; however, by specifying -Prefer ps you can tell pbpaste  to
	      look  first for Encapsulated PostScript.	If you specify -Prefer
	      rtf, pbpaste looks first for Rich Text  format.	In  any	 case,
	      pbpaste  looks for the other formats if the preferred one is not
	      found.

BUGS
       There is no way to tell pbpaste to get only a specified data type.
