XCUTSEL(1) AIX XCUTSEL(1) NAME xcutsel - interchange between cut buffer and selection SYNOPSIS xxxxccccuuuuttttsssseeeellll [ -_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n ...] [-selection _s_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n] [- cutbuffer _n_u_m_b_e_r] DESCRIPTION The _x_c_u_t_s_e_l program is used to copy the current selection into a cut buffer and to make a selection that contains the current contents of the cut buffer. It acts as a bridge between applications that don't support selections and those that do. By default, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l will use the selection named PRIMARY and the cut buffer CUT_BUFFER0. Either or both of these can be overridden by command line arguments or by resources. An _x_c_u_t_s_e_l window has the following buttons: _q_u_i_t When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l exits. Any selections held by _x_c_u_t_s_e_l are automatically released. _c_o_p_y _P_R_I_M_A_R_Y _t_o _0 When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l copies the current selection into the cut buffer. _c_o_p_y _0 _t_o _P_R_I_M_A_R_Y When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l converts the current contents of the cut buffer into the selec- tion. The button labels reflect the selection and cutbuffer selected by command line options or through the resource database. When the ``copy 0 to PRIMARY'' button is activated, the but- ton will remain inverted as long as _x_c_u_t_s_e_l remains the owner of the selection. This serves to remind you which client owns the current selection. Note that the value of the selection remains constant; if the cutbuffer is changed, you must again activate the copy button to retrieve the new value when desired. OPTIONS _X_c_u_t_s_e_l accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options as well as the following: ----sssseeeelllleeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn _n_a_m_e This option specifies the name of the selection to use. The default is PRIMARY. The only supported Rev. Release 5 Page 1 XCUTSEL(1) AIX XCUTSEL(1) abbreviations for this option are ``-select'', ``- sel'' and ``-s'', as the standard toolkit option ``-selectionTimeout'' has a similar name. ----ccccuuuuttttbbbbuuuuffffffffeeeerrrr _n_u_m_b_e_r This option specifies the cut buffer to use. The default is cut buffer 0. X DEFAULTS This program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit resource names and classes as well as: sssseeeelllleeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn ((((class SSSSeeeelllleeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn)))) This resource specifies the name of the selection to use. The default is PRIMARY. ccccuuuuttttBBBBuuuuffffffffeeeerrrr ((((class CCCCuuuuttttBBBBuuuuffffffffeeeerrrr)))) This resource specifies the number of the cut buffer to use. The default is 0. WIDGET NAMES The following instance names may be used when user confi- guration of the labels in them is desired: sssseeeellll----ccccuuuutttt ((((class CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd)))) This is the ``copy SELECTION to BUFFER'' button. ccccuuuutttt----sssseeeellll ((((class CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd)))) This is the ``copy BUFFER to SELECTION'' button. qqqquuuuiiiitttt ((((class CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd)))) This is the ``quit'' button. SEE ALSO X(1), xclipboard(1), xterm(1), text widget documentation, individual client documentation for how to make a selection. BUGS There is no way to change the name of the selection or the number of the cut buffer while the program is running.
