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.
