|

|
||

|
||
|

|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ gclip
|
||
|
|
gclip is a command that provides clipboard interaction.
|
||
|
|
usage: gclip [-copy|-paste] [-f <file>]
|
||
|
|
options:
|
||
|
|
-copy
|
||
|
|
copy data to clipboard
|
||
|
|
-f string
|
||
|
|
source or destination to a given file path
|
||
|
|
-paste
|
||
|
|
paste data from clipboard
|
||
|
|
examples:
|
||
|
|
gclip -paste paste from clipboard and prints the content
|
||
|
|
gclip -paste -f x.txt paste from clipboard and save as text to x.txt
|
||
|
|
gclip -paste -f x.png paste from clipboard and save as image to x.png
|
||
|
|
cat x.txt | gclip -copy copy content from x.txt to clipboard
|
||
|
|
gclip -copy -f x.txt copy content from x.txt to clipboard
|

gclip -copy -f x.png copy x.png as image data to clipboard
|
||

```
|
||

If `-copy` is used, the command will exit when the data is no longer
|
||
|
|
available from the clipboard. You can always send the command to the
|
||
|
|
background using a shell `&` operator, for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
$ cat x.txt | gclip -copy &
|
||
|
|
```
