SNARF(3) (hosted) SNARF(3)
NAME
snarf - host window system clipboard
SYNOPSIS
bind -a #^ /dev
bind -b #^ /chan
/dev/snarf
/chan/snarf
DESCRIPTION
Snarf serves a single file, snarf. Reading the file returns
the current contents of the host window system's own clip-
board (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 win-
dow system's clipboard.
Emu(1) automatically binds the device to both /dev and /chan
when it starts up, if a window system is configured.
