.TH XCLIPBOARD 1 "Release 5" "X Version 11"
.SH NAME
xclipboard - X clipboard client
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBxclipboard\fP [ \fI-toolkitoption\fP ...] [-w] [-nw]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIxclipboard\fP 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, \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 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.

.SH SENDING/RETRIEVING CLIPBOARD CONTENTS
Text is copied to the clipboard whenever a client asserts ownership of the
\fBCLIPBOARD\fP selection.  Text is copied from the clipboard whenever a
client requests the contents of the \fBCLIPBOARD\fP selection.  Examples of
event bindings that a user may wish to include in a resource configuration
file to use the clipboard are:
