VERSION

This document describes version 0.009 of App::ClipboardUtils (from Perl distribution App-ClipboardUtils), released on 2025-01-27.

DESCRIPTION

This distribution contains the following CLI utilities related to clipboard:

1. add-clipboard-content
2. ca
3. cg
4. clear-clipboard-content
5. clear-clipboard-history
6. clipadd
7. clipget

FUNCTIONS

add_clipboard_content

Usage:

add_clipboard_content(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Add a new content to the clipboard.

For xclip: when adding content, the primary selection is set. The clipboard content is unchanged.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • clipboard_manager => str

    Explicitly set clipboard manager to use.

    The default, when left undef, is to detect what clipboard manager is running.

  • content => str

    (No description)

  • split_by => str_or_re

    Split content by specified string/regex, add the split content as multiple clipboard entries.

    Note that if you supply a regex, you should not have any capture groups in the regex.

  • tee => true

    Pass stdin to stdout.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
