Usage

System clipboard integration

This file has support for doing system clipboard copy and paste operations from the command line in a generic cross-platform fashion.

On OS X and Windows, the main system clipboard or "pasteboard" is used. On other Unix-like OSes, this considers the X Windows CLIPBOARD selection to be the "system clipboard", and the X Windows xclip command must be installed.
