xcut(8) xcut(8) NAME xcut - Manipulate X cut buffers from command line SYNOPSIS xcut [-display displayname] [-p] DESCRIPTION This is the manual page for xcut version 0.2. Xcut takes the contents of standard input and store it into the X cut and paste buffer. The data is then available for pasting into applications which support cut and paste operations. I was initially looking for something that would generate canned shell com- mands and stick them in the X cut buffer so all the user needed to do was do hit the middle mouse button in an xterm and the commands would be exe- cuted. The original idea was to stick a short shell script to insert a MIT- MAGIC-COOKIE entry in the .Xauthority file, but I've found xcut useful for other things such as pasting the output of shell commands into mail mes- sages and so forth. OPTIONS -display Connect to the specified X host, display number and screen. -p Paste contents of X cut buffer to standard output. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The DISPLAY environment variable is used for the name of the X display to connect to if the -display command line option is not present.
