NAME
| |
getsnarf, putsnarf – window system snarf (cut and paste) buffer
|
SYNOPSIS
| |
#include <draw.h>
char *getsnarf(void)
void putsnarf(char *text)
|
DESCRIPTION
| |
Getsnarf and putsnarf access the window system’s snarf (cut and
paste) buffer.
Getsnarf returns a copy of the current buffer; the returned pointer
should be freed with free (see malloc(3)) when no longer needed.
Putsnarf sets the buffer to the text string text.
Callers should assume that the snarf buffer is UTF. If the window
system does not keep the buffer in UTF, getsnarf and putsnarf
will convert as necessary.

BUGS

On OS X, there are two snarf buffers: the Carbon snarf buffer
used by native OS X applications, and the X11 snarf buffer, used
by X11 applications. Whenever new text is written to the Carbon
snarf buffer, the OS X X11 implementation automatically copies
that text to the X11 snarf buffer. The reverse is not done automatically,
arguably a bug in the
X11 server. To work around this, putsnarf writes to both the Carbon
snarf buffer and the X11 snarf buffer. To work around this bug
in remote or non-Plan 9 X11 clients, run snarfer(1).
