.SH NAME
|
|
xwinclip - An X11 and Windows clipboard integration tool
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B xwinclip [OPTION]...
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fIxwinclip\fP is a tool for copying and pasting text between the Windows and X11 clipboard systems.
|
|
|
|
\fIxwinclip\fP watches for updates to either clipboard and copies data between them when either one is updated.
|
|
|
|
\fIxwinclip\fP monitors the X PRIMARY and CLIBPOARD selections for changes in ownership, and makes
|
|
the contents of the most recent one to change available to paste from the Windows clipboard.
|
|
|
|
It also monitors the contents of the Windows clipboard for changes, taking ownership of the PRIMARY and
|
|
CLIPBOARD selections, and making the contents of the Windows clipboard available in them.
|
|
|
|
.B Note well:
|
|
The
|
|
.BR XWin (1)
|
|
X server has internal clipboard integration that is enabled by default.
|
|
Do \fINOT\fP run \fIxwinclip\fP unless
|
|
.BR XWin (1)
|
|
has been started with the
|
|
.B -noclipboard
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
\fIxwinclip\fP accepts the following optional command line switches:
|
|

|
.TP 8

|
.B \-display [display]
|
|
Specifies the X server display to connect to.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-noprimary

Do not monitor the PRIMARY selection.
|

|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Only text clipboard contents are supported.
|
|
|
|
The INCR (Incremental transfer) clipboard protocol for clipboard contents larger than the maximum size of an X
|
|
request (approximately 256K) is only supported for X -> Windows clipboard transfers.
|
|
|
|
Some X clients, notably ones written in Tcl/Tk, do not re-assert ownership of the PRIMARY selection or update
|
|
its timestamp when its contents change, which currently prevents \fIxwinclip\fP from correctly noticing that
|
|
the PRIMARY selection's contents have changed.
|
|
|
|
Windows clipboard rendering is synchronous in the WM_RENDER*FORMAT message (that is, we must have placed the
|
|
contents onto the clipboard by the time we return from processing this message), but we must wait for the X
|
|
client which owns the selection to convert the selection to our requested format. This is currently achieved
|
|
using a fixed timeout. After requesting conversion of the selection, if no events are received from the X
|
|
client which owns the selection for one second, the conversion is assumed to have failed.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.BR XWin (1)
|
|
server should indicate somehow (by placing an atom on the root window?) that it is running with its
|
|
internal clipboard integration enabled, and xwinclip should notice this and exit with an appropriate error.
|
|
|
|
Probably many other bugs.
