# wayclip

wayclip is a pair of command-line utilities: `waycopy` and `waypaste`,

which allow access to the Wayland clipboard. Specifically, `wayclip`

is a `wlr-data-control` protocol client.

wayclip distinguishes itself from other Wayland clipboard utilities

in the following ways:

- small - the whole codebase is less than 300 lines! (excluding whitespace)

- Unixy - all it does is copy and paste; other functions are for other programs

- no dynamic memory allocation

## Usage

To copy data, just pipe it into `waycopy`, and optionally specify a seat and mimetype:

```

$ echo "howdy" | waycopy -s seat0 -t text/plain

```

(note that `waycopy` will fork into the background)

To paste, optionally specify a seat and desired mimetype:

```

$ waypaste -s seat0 -t text/plain

howdy

$

```
