.TH SNARFER 1
|
||
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
snarfer \- manage the snarf buffer
|
||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.B snarfer
|
||
|
[
|
||
|
.B -v
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.I Snarfer
|
||
|
watches the snarf buffer for changes.
|
||
|
Each time a program changes the snarf buffer contents,
|
||
|
.I snarfer
|
||
|
copies the new contents and then takes over control
|
||
|
of the buffer.
|
||
|
Because the snarf buffer contents are managed by
|
||
|
.I snarfer
|
||
|
instead of by individual programs, the contents remain
|
||
|
available even after the program that wrote them exits.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.B -v
|
||
|
option, intended for debugging, causes
|
||
|
.I snarfer
|
||
|
to print the new snarf buffer contents each time it changes.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
On Mac OS X,
|
||
|
running
|
||
|
.I snarfer
|
||
|
keeps the X11 snarf buffer in sync with the Carbon snarf buffer,
|
||
|
working around a bug in the OS X X11 server.
|
||
|

|
||
|
.IR getsnarf (3)
|
||
|
for more details.

.SH BUGS
|
||
|
Both
|
||
|
.I xclipboard
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.I snarfer
|
||
|
want sole control of the snarf buffer.
|
||
|
Running both at the same time will
|
||
|
pass the snarf buffer back and forth between them
|
||
|
in an infinite loop.
