.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.

.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
Unix's
|
|
.IR xclipboard (1),

|
.MR getsnarf (3)
|
|
.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.
