NAME

       autocutsel - keep the X clipboard and the cutbuffer in sync

SYNOPSIS

       autocutsel [-selection selection_name] [-cutbuffer number] [-debug] [-verbose] [-fork] [-pause
       milliseconds] [-buttonup]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the autocutsel command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and clipboard selection.  When the clipboard is
       changed, it updates the cutbuffer.  When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the clipboard selection.  The
       cutbuffer and clipboard selection are always synchronized.  Since the VNC client synchronizes the
       Windows' clipboard and the server's cutbuffer, all three "clipboards" are always kept synchronized.  When
       you copy some text in Windows, the cutbuffer and the clipboard selection are updated.  When you copy text
       on the server using either the cutbuffer or the clipboard selection, the Windows's clipboard is always
       updated.

OPTIONS

       -selection, -select, -sel, -s {CLIPBOARD|PRIMARY}
              Specify which selection to use.  Default is CLIPBOARD.

       -cutbuffer <number>
              (Details of this parameter unknown.)

       -debug, -d
              Run with debugging mode.

       -verbose, -v
              Be more verbose.  Reports the version and announces synchronizations.

       -fork, -f
              Run  as  a  daemon  program  in  the  background.  This is recommended when used from an X startup
              script.

       -pause, -p <milliseconds>
              Wait some milliseconds before owning the selection.

       -buttonup
              Get the selection only when the button 1 is not pressed.  This may help with OpenOffice Writer.
