xclip
xclip is a command line interface to the X11 clipboard. It can also be used for copying files, as an alternative to sftp/scp, thus avoiding password prompts when X11 forwarding has already been setup.

Changes: Portability and stability enhancements added. The man page now has a more conventional format and better content.
- 19 Sep 2001 12:34
Changes: Support for the INCR mechanism (-o should be able to print out selections that were previously too big and would have resulted in a message "Error: Support for format not yet implemented."). In in mode, using the INCR mechanism means that you can use xclip on really big data. It used to work OK on big data, but it is better behaved about it.
