NAME

wxcopy - copy stdin or file into X11 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

--clear-selection
Clears the PRIMARY selection owner. In practice it means that
when you try to paste the data with the middle mouse button
(for example) it will paste the data from cut buffer 0,
instead of any eventually existing mouse selection.

--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.

--help print a help message with the list of options.

--no-limit
Makes the normal 64kb limit check not to be performed, making
the buffer attempt to grow to whatever size is required.

--version
print the version of Window Maker from which the program
comes.
