+Command-line interface to the X Clipboard
+
+xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any system
+with an X11 implementation. It can read data from standard input or a
+file and place it in an X selection for pasting into other X
+applications. xclip can also print an X selection to standard output,
+which can then be redirected to a file or another program.
