wxpaste(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            wxpaste(1)

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.
