SNARF(3)
NAME
snarf − host window system clipboard
SYNOPSIS
bind -a #^ /dev
bind -b #^ /chan
/dev/snarf
/chan/snarf
DESCRIPTION
Snarf serves a single file, snarf. Reading the file returns the current contents of the host window system’s own clipboard (equivalent to the Inferno window system’s ‘snarf buffer’). If the file is opened for writing, subsequent writes append to an internal buffer; when the file is closed, that buffer’s contents are written to the host window system’s clipboard.
Emu(1) automatically binds the device to both /dev and /chan when it starts up, if a window system is configured.
