OFFTOPIC: How about a /dev/clipboard ?

[Jim Foltz <jfoltz@raex.com>]

Hello,

There are times when I need to cut and paste the output from a command
line program into a graphical program. The problem occurs when the output
is more than one screen long. I just thought it would be quite nice to
be able to redirect the output into /dev/clipboard, then switch to the
graphical program and use the mouse to paste it from /dev/clipboard to
where I need it.


Is there a mechanism already in place to handle this?
