NAME

wxpaste - output a cutbuffer to stdout

SYNOPSIS

wxpaste [options]

DESCRIPTION

wxpaste outputs the contents of the specified cutbuffer to stdout. If
no cutbuffer is specified, the cutbuffer 0 will be used as default.

OPTIONS

--cutbuffer number
The data will be pasted from the specified cutbuffer, instead
of the default 0.

-display display-name
Specifies the display where wxpaste should look for the data
to be pasted.

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

--selection [selection-name]
The data will be copied from the named selection. If cutting
from the selection fails, the cutbuffer will be used. The
default value for the selection name is PRIMARY.

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

BUGS

When used without a selection name, the --selection option must be
the last one. The syntax could be cleaned, but backwards
compatibility prevents that...

INCR and MULTIPLE selection types are not handled. Actually, only
simple text selections are handled, which should be enough for most
uses of a utility such as this.
