xcutsel - interchange between cut buffer and selection

The _x_c_u_t_s_e_l program is used to copy the current selection
into a cut buffer and to make a selection that contains the
current contents of the cut buffer. It acts as a bridge
between applications that don't support selections and those
that do.
By default, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l will use the selection named PRIMARY and
the cut buffer CUT_BUFFER0. Either or both of these can be
overridden by command line arguments or by resources.
An _x_c_u_t_s_e_l window has the following buttons:
_q_u_i_t
When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l exits. Any
selections held by _x_c_u_t_s_e_l are automatically
released.
_c_o_p_y _P_R_I_M_A_R_Y _t_o _0
When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l copies the
current selection into the cut buffer.
_c_o_p_y _0 _t_o _P_R_I_M_A_R_Y
When this button is pressed, _x_c_u_t_s_e_l converts the
current contents of the cut buffer into the
selection.
The button labels reflect the selection and cutbuffer
selected by command line options or through the resource
database.
When the ``copy 0 to PRIMARY'' button is activated, the
button will remain inverted as long as _x_c_u_t_s_e_l remains the
owner of the selection. This serves to remind you which
client owns the current selection. Note that the value of
the selection remains constant; if the cutbuffer is changed,
you must again activate the copy button to retrieve the new
value when desired.

_X_c_u_t_s_e_l accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
options as well as the following:
----sssseeeelllleeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn _n_a_m_e
This option specifies the name of the selection to

use. The default is PRIMARY. The only supported
abbreviations for this option are ``-select'', ``-
sel'' and ``-s'', as the standard toolkit option
``-selectionTimeout'' has a similar name.
----ccccuuuuttttbbbbuuuuffffffffeeeerrrr _n_u_m_b_e_r
This option specifies the cut buffer to use. The
default is cut buffer 0.
XXXX DDDDEEEEFFFFAAAAUUUULLLLTTTTSSSS
This program accepts all of the standard X Toolkit resource
names and classes as well as:
sssseeeelllleeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn ((((class SSSSeeeelllleeeeccccttttiiiioooonnnn))))
This resource specifies the name of the selection to
use. The default is PRIMARY.
ccccuuuuttttBBBBuuuuffffffffeeeerrrr ((((class CCCCuuuuttttBBBBuuuuffffffffeeeerrrr))))
This resource specifies the number of the cut buffer
to use. The default is 0.

The following instance names may be used when user
configuration of the labels in them is desired:
sssseeeellll----ccccuuuutttt ((((class CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd))))
This is the ``copy SELECTION to BUFFER'' button.
ccccuuuutttt----sssseeeellll ((((class CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd))))
This is the ``copy BUFFER to SELECTION'' button.
qqqquuuuiiiitttt ((((class CCCCoooommmmmmmmaaaannnndddd))))
This is the ``quit'' button.

X(1), xclipboard(1), xterm(1), text widget documentation,
individual client documentation for how to make a selection.

There is no way to change the name of the selection or the
number of the cut buffer while the program is running.
