What is xcb?
|
|
============
|
|
Do you ever wish you could cut two or more separate pieces of text
|
|
at once from a window? Do you ever need to save the output from one
|
|
command for reuse in several subsequent tasks? Do you ever find
|
|
yourself wanting some easy means of globally exporting data, e.g.
|
|
to a parent shell, to another xterm or application, or to another
|
|
machine or user? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then
|
|
xcb is for you.
|
|
|
|
Xcb provides access to the cut buffers built into every X server.
|
|
It allows the buffers to be manipulated either via the command line,
|
|
or with the mouse in a point and click manner. The buffers can be
|
|
used as holding pens to store and retrieve arbitrary data fragments,
|
|
so any number of different pieces of data can be saved and recalled later.
|
|
The program is designed primarily for use with textual data.
