NAME
cut - cut text from a
MGR
window and send it to a program.
SYNOPSIS
cut
[ -s ]
[ command ]
DESCRIPTION
Cut watches the global
MGR
cut buffer and when activated, reads the buffer and starts
<command>
with the contents of the buffer as
<command>'s
standard input.
Initially,
cut
prompts the user for a spot on the display, moves there and becomes
a closed file cabinet icon.
Any time text is cut to to
MGR 's
global buffer,
cut
highlights the file cabinet to indicate it has seen the cut text.
Cut
prepends the current date, time and message size to the text sent to
<command>.
If
-s
is specified,
cut
does not prompt the user for a spot, but uses the window as is.
This is useful for starting cut from the
MGR
startup file.
If no
command
is given,
cut
looks for the command in the environment variable
CUT .
