xclipboard - X clipboard client
xclipboard [ -toolkitoption ... ] [ -w ] [ -nw ]
The xclipboard program is used to collect and display text selections
  that are sent to the CLIPBOARD by other clients. It is typically used to save
  CLIPBOARD selections for later use. It stores each CLIPBOARD selection as a
  separate string, each of which can be selected. Each time CLIPBOARD is
  asserted by another application, xclipboard transfers the contents of
  that selection to a new buffer and displays it in the text window. Buffers are
  never automatically deleted, so you'll want to use the delete button to get
  rid of useless items.
Since xclipboard uses a Text Widget to display the contents
    of the clipboard, text sent to the CLIPBOARD may be re-selected for use in
    other applications. xclipboard also responds to requests for the
    CLIPBOARD selection from other clients by sending the entire contents of the
    currently displayed buffer.
An xclipboard window has the following buttons across the
    top:
  - quit
- When this button is pressed, xclipboard exits.
- delete
- When this button is pressed, the current buffer is deleted and the next
      one displayed.
- new
- Creates a new buffer with no contents. Useful in constructing a new
      CLIPBOARD selection by hand.
- save
- Displays a File Save dialog box. Pressing the Accept button saves the
      currently displayed buffer to the file specified in the text field.
- next
- Displays the next buffer in the list.
- previous
- Displays the previous buffer.
The xclipboard program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
  options as well as the following:
  - -w
- This option indicates that lines of text that are too long to be displayed
      on one line in the clipboard should wrap around to the following
    lines.
- -nw
- This option indicates that long lines of text should not wrap around. This
      is the default behavior.
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets
  which compose xclipboard. In the notation below, indentation indicates
  hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first, followed by the
  widget instance name.

Text is copied to the clipboard whenever a client asserts ownership of the
  CLIPBOARD selection. Text is copied from the clipboard whenever a
  client requests the contents of the CLIPBOARD selection. Examples of
  event bindings that a user may wish to include in a resource configuration
  file to use the clipboard are:
*VT100.Translations: #override \ 
        <Btn3Up>:       select-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\ 
        <Btn2Up>:       insert-selection(PRIMARY,CLIPBOARD) \n\ 
        <Btn2Down>:     ignore ()
X(7), xcutsel(1), xterm(1), individual client documentation for how to make a
  selection and send it to the CLIPBOARD.
  - DISPLAY
- to get the default host and display number.
- XENVIRONMENT
- to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources
      stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
  - /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/app-defaults/XClipboard
- specifies required resources
