XCLIPBOARD(1) AIX XCLIPBOARD(1) NAME xclipboard - X clipboard client SYNOPSIS xxxxcccclllliiiippppbbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd [ -_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n ...] [-w] [-nw] DESCRIPTION The _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d 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, _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d 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 _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d 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. _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d also responds to requests for the CLIPBOARD selection from other clients by sending the entire contents of the currently displayed buffer. An _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d window has the following buttons across the top: _q_u_i_t When this button is pressed, _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d exits. _d_e_l_e_t_e When this button is pressed, the current buffer is deleted and the next one displayed. _n_e_w Creates a new buffer with no contents. Useful in constructing a new CLIPBOARD selection by hand. _n_e_x_t Displays the next buffer in the list. _p_r_e_v_i_o_u_s Displays the previous buffer. OPTIONS The _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options as well as the following: ----wwww This option indicates that lines of text that are too long to be displayed on one line in the clip- board should wrap around to the following lines. ----nnnnwwww This option indicates that long lines of text should not wrap around. This is the default behavior. WIDGETS Rev. Release 5 Page 1 XCLIPBOARD(1) AIX XCLIPBOARD(1) In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose _x_c_l_i_p_b_o_a_r_d. In the notation below, indentation indicates hierarchical struc- ture. The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

Text is copied from the clipboard whenever a client requests the contents of the CCCCLLLLIIIIPPPPBBBBOOOOAAAARRRRDDDD 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 \ : select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\ : insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD) \n\ : ignore () SEE ALSO X(1), xcutsel(1), xterm(1), individual client documentation for how to make a selection and send it to the CLIPBOARD.
