wl-clipboard – Wayland clipboard utilities

wl-clipboard implements two command-line Wayland clipboard utilities, wl-copy and wl-paste.

These utilities let you easily copy data between the clipboard and Unix pipes, sockets, files and so on.

Although wl-copy and wl-paste are particularly optimized for plain text and other textual content formats, they fully support content of arbitrary MIME types. wl-copy automatically infers the type of the copied content by running xdg-mime on it. wl-paste tries its best to pick a type to paste based on the list of offered MIME types and the extension of the file it’s pasting int
