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 auto‐
       matically 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, indentation 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 configuration file to use the clipboard are:

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