AUTOCUTSEL(1)		     General Commands Manual		   AUTOCUTSEL(1)

NAME
     autocutsel - keep the X clipboard and the cutbuffer in sync

SYNOPSIS
     autocutsel [-selection selection_name] [-cutbuffer number] [-debug] [-ver-
     bose] [-fork] [-pause milliseconds] [-buttonup]

DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents briefly the autocutsel command.

     This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi-
     nal program does not have a manual page.

     autocutsel  tracks  changes  in the server's cutbuffer and clipboard selec-
     tion.  When the clipboard is changed, it updates the cutbuffer.   When  the
     cutbuffer	is  changed, it owns the clipboard selection.  The cutbuffer and
     clipboard selection are always synchronized.  Since the VNC client synchro-
     nizes the Windows' clipboard and the server's cutbuffer, all  three  "clip-
     boards"  are always kept synchronized.  When you copy some text in Windows,
     the cutbuffer and the clipboard selection are updated.  When you copy  text
     on  the  server  using either the cutbuffer or the clipboard selection, the
     Windows's clipboard is always updated.

OPTIONS
     -selection, -select, -sel, -s {CLIPBOARD|PRIMARY}
	    Specify which selection to use.  Default is CLIPBOARD.

     -cutbuffer <number>
	    (Details of this parameter unknown.)

     -debug, -d
	    Run with debugging mode.

     -verbose, -v
	    Be more verbose.  Reports the  version  and  announces  synchroniza-
	    tions.

     -fork, -f
	    Run as a daemon program in the background.	This is recommended when
	    used from an X startup script.

     -pause, -p <milliseconds>
	    Wait some milliseconds before owning the selection.

     -buttonup
	    Get  the  selection only when the button 1 is not pressed.	This may
	    help with OpenOffice Writer.
