wxpaste(1x)

NAME¶

wxpaste - output a cutbuffer to stdout

SYNOPSIS¶

wxpaste [options]

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

-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.

-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.

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, wich should be enough for most uses of a utility such as this.
