wxpaste(1)		     General Commands Manual		      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.
