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, \fIxclipboard\fP 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. +.PP +Since \fIxclipboard\fP 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. \fIxclipboard\fP also responds to requests for the CLIPBOARD +selection from other clients by sending the entire contents of the currently +displayed buffer. +.PP +An \fIxclipboard\fP window has the following buttons across the top: +.TP 8 +.I quit +When this button is pressed, \fIxclipboard\fP exits. +.TP 8 +.I delete +When this button is pressed, the current buffer is deleted and the +next one displayed. +.TP 8 +.I new +Creates a new buffer with no contents. Useful in constructing a new +CLIPBOARD selection by hand. +.TP 8 +.I save +Displays a File Save dialog box. +Pressing the Accept button saves the currently +displayed buffer to the file specified in the text field. +.TP 8 +.I next +Displays the next buffer in the list. +.TP 8 +.I previous +Displays the previous buffer. +.SH OPTIONS +The \fIxclipboard\fP program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command +line options as well as the following: +.TP 8 +.B \-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. +.TP 8 +.B \-nw +This option indicates that long lines of text should not wrap around. This +is the default behavior. +.SH WIDGETS +In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of +the widgets which compose \fIxclipboard\fR. In the notation below, +indentation indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name +is given first, followed by the widget instance name. +.sp +.nf +.TA .5i 1.0i 1.5i +.ta .5i 1.0i 1.5i +XClipboard xclipboard + Form form + Command Quit + Command delete + Command new + Command Save + Command next + Command prev + Label index + Text text + TransientShell fileDialogShell + Dialog fileDialog + Label label + Command accept + Command cancel + Text value + TransientShell failDialogShell + Dialog failDialog + Label label + Command continue +.fi +.sp +.SH SENDING/RETRIEVING CLIPBOARD CONTENTS +Text is copied to the clipboard whenever a client asserts ownership of the +\fBCLIPBOARD\fP selection.
