autocutsel - keep the X clipboard and the cutbuffer in sync
autocutsel [-selection selection_name] [-cutbuffer
number] [-debug] [-verbose] [-fork] [-pause
milliseconds] [-buttonup]
This manual page documents briefly the autocutsel command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and
clipboard selection. When the clipboard is changed, it updates the
cutbuffer. When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the clipboard selection.
The cutbuffer and clipboard selection are always synchronized. Since the VNC
client synchronizes the Windows' clipboard and the server's cutbuffer, all
three "clipboards" are always kept synchronized. When you copy
some text in Windows, the cutbuffer and the clipboard selection are updated.
When you copy text on the server using either the cutbuffer or the clipboard
selection, the Windows's clipboard is always updated.
- -selection, -select, -sel, -s {CLIPBOARD|PRIMARY}
- Specify which selection to use. Default is CLIPBOARD.
- -cutbuffer <number>
- (Details of this parameter unknown.)
- -debug, -d
- Run with debugging mode.
- -verbose, -v
- Be more verbose. Reports the version and announces synchronizations.
- -fork, -f
- Run as a daemon program in the background. This is recommended when used
from an X startup script.
- -pause, -p <milliseconds>
- Wait some milliseconds before owning the selection.
- -buttonup
- Get the selection only when the button 1 is not pressed. This may help
with OpenOffice Writer.
