# scm - simple clipboard manager

scm is a minimalist clipboard manager for X.

## Requirements

In order to build scm you need the Xlib and Xfixes header files.

It is also expected that you have [dmenu](https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/) installed.

Simply run `make` and then (as root) `make install` to install scm.

## Running scm

The user is required to set a cache directory for scm (via the `-d`

flag), this directory will store all clipboard entries that scm

gets so it is important to set the permissions for the directory

accordingly.

In this repository you will find a `scmd` script that sets up a cache

directory in the users `$HOME/.cache` directory.

To interact with scm, a dmenu wrapper script (`scmenu`) is provided.

The script allows the user to select and copy the entries in to

their clipboard.

See the `scm(1)` manpage for more information.
