XCLIPBOARD(1)							 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 CLIP‐
       BOARD  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.

       save    Displays a File Save dialog box.	 Pressing  the	Accept	button
	       saves  the  currently displayed buffer to the file specified in
	       the text field.

       next    Displays the next buffer in the list.

       previous
	       Displays the previous buffer.

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, indenta‐
       tion 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 configura‐
       tion file to use the clipboard are:

       *VT100.Translations: #override \
	    <Btn3Up>:		     select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\
	    <Btn2Up>:		     insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD) \n\
	    <Btn2Down>:		     ignore ()
