Claims
-
xclip was designed to allow tighter integration of X applications and command-line programs. By default it runs silently in the background waiting for X selection requests until another X application places data in the clipboard, at which point xclip exits silently.
"xclip was designed to allow tighter integration of X applications and command line programs. The default action is to silently wait in the background for X selection requests (pastes) until another X application places data in the clipboard, at which point xclip exits silently."
-
The -rmlastnl option removes the trailing newline character from the selection, which is useful when copying single-line command output such as the result of pwd to the clipboard so that pasting it into a command prompt does not immediately execute the line.
