Summary     : Command line clipboard grabber
Description :
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 ("the
clipboard")
from the command line. It can read data from standard in 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.
