xclip (command-line interface to the X clipboard)

xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any

system with an X11 implementation. It provides an interface to X

selections ("quot;the clipboard"quot;) from the command line. It can read

data from standard input or a file, and place it in an X selection

for pasting into other X applications. xclip can also print an X

selection to standard out, which can then be redirected to a file

or another program.
