# wl-clipboard: Wayland clipboard utilities

This project implements two command-line Wayland clipboard utilities, `wl-copy`

and `wl-paste`, that let you easily copy data between the clipboard and Unix

pipes, sockets, files and so on.

```bash

# Copy a simple text message:

$ wl-copy Hello world!

# Copy the list of files in ~/Downloads:

$ ls ~/Downloads | wl-copy

# Copy an image:

$ wl-copy < ~/Pictures/photo.png

# Copy the previous command:

$ wl-copy "!!"

# Paste to a file:

$ wl-paste > clipboard.txt

# Sort clipboard contents:

$ wl-paste | sort | wl-copy

# Upload clipboard contents to a pastebin on each change:

$ wl-paste --watch nc paste.example.org 5555

```

Please see the wl-clipboard(1) man page for more details.

# Installing
