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 CLIPBOARD 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  con-
       figuration file to use the clipboard are:

       *VT100.Translations: #override 
	    <Btn3Up>:		     select-end(CLIPBOARD) 

	    <Btn2Up>:		     insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD) 

	    <Btn2Down>: 	     ignore ()
