.TH SNARF 3 hosted .SH NAME snarf \- host window system clipboard .SH SYNOPSIS .B bind -a #^ /dev .br .B bind -b #^ /chan .PP .B /dev/snarf .br .B /chan/snarf .SH DESCRIPTION .I Snarf serves a single file, .BR snarf . Reading the file returns the current contents of the host window system's own clipboard (equivalent to the Inferno window system's `snarf buffer'). If the file is opened for writing, subsequent writes append to an internal buffer; when the file is closed, that buffer's contents are written to the host window system's clipboard. .PP .IR Emu (1) automatically binds the device to both .B /dev and .B /chan when it starts up, if a window system is configured. .SH SEE ALSO .IR wm (1)
