NAME
       xclipboard - X clipboard client

SYNOPSIS
       xclipboard [ -toolkitoption ... ] [ -w ] [ -nw ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  xclipboard 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, xclipboard trans-
       fers 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.

       Since xclipboard 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.  xclipboard also  responds  to  requests  for  the
       CLIPBOARD  selection from other clients by sending the entire contents
       of the currently displayed buffer.

       An xclipboard window has the following buttons across the top:

       quit    When this button is pressed, xclipboard exits.

       delete  When this button is pressed, the current buffer is deleted and
	       the next one displayed.

       new     Creates a new buffer with no contents.  Useful in constructing
	       a new CLIPBOARD selection by hand.

       save    Displays a File Save dialog box.	 Pressing the  Accept  button
	       saves  the currently displayed buffer to the file specified in
	       the text field.

       next    Displays the next buffer in the list.

       previous
	       Displays the previous buffer.

OPTIONS
       The xclipboard program accepts all of the standard X  Toolkit  command
       line options as well as the following:

       -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.

       -nw     This  option indicates that long lines of text should not wrap
	       around.	This is the default behavior.

WIDGETS
       In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the	hierarchy  of
       the widgets which compose xclipboard.  In the notation below, indenta-
       tion indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given
       first, followed by the widget instance name.

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

       *VT100.Translations: #override :select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n:insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD) \n:ignore ()
