NAME
wxcopy - copy stdin or file into cutbuffer SYNOPSIS
wxcopy [options] [filename] DESCRIPTION
wxcopy copies stdin or filename into the cutbuffer. If no cutbuffer is specified, the data will be copied into cutbuffer 0 and the other cutbuffers will be rotated, if present. If a cutbuffer is specified, the data is copied into that cutbuffer, and no rotation of buffers is performed. OPTIONS
-cutbuffer number Specifies the number of the cutbuffer to copy data to. -display display-name The data will be copied in the cutbuffers of the specified display/screen. -nolimit Makes the normal 64kb limit check not to be performed, making the buffer attempt to grow to whatever size is required. -clearselection Clears the PRIMARY selection owner. In practice it means that when you try to paste the data with the middle mouse button (for exam- ple) it will paste the data from cut buffer 0, instead of any eventually existing mouse selection.
