Simple Question that I just realized would be very useful.



Under Linux (or really any 'nix environment) is it possible from the command line (or by other fashions, but primarily command line) to copy a file to the clipboard? Any example of this working would be appreciated but the best answer would be a general case in which this is possible across multiple 'nix environments (I'm running Fedora 10 atm if that makes any difference).

          Looks like you want xclip.



          Usage:



          xclip -t clipboard somefile


          or an example using using pipes:



          grep "needle" myfile.txt | xclip -t clipboard


          Without the -t clipboard the data will go to PRIMARY selection.

          Are you in X? Or text-only?



          If you're in text mode, it's dead simple if you're using screen (which is awesome):



          <C-A>:readbuf /path/to/file


          To paste:



          <C-A>]
