X11 selection transfers (which both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD are instances of) |
|
16 |
are done through synthesized X11 events and properties changes. |
|
17 |
||
18 |
The messages used to transfer the selections have a maximum size that's |
|
19 |
actually quite low (a few kilobytes). |

The xclipboard command emulates the traditional Macintosh style clipboard by |
|
32 |
claiming ownership of the CLIPBOARD selection and answering any requests for |
|
33 |
its value. When it loses the selection, it immediately asks the new owner for |
|
34 |
the value of the CLIPBOARD selection, makes a local copy, and then reasserts |
|
35 |
ownership of the CLIPBOARD. This way the clipboard contents can persist after |
|
36 |
the original application has exited. |
