I didn't know about xsel. Thanks for mentioning it. I knew about
xclip. xsel and xclip seem to have an almost identical feature set.
https://packages.debian.org/sid/xclip
xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any system
with an X11 implementation. It provides an interface to X selections
("the clipboard") from the command line. It can read data from
standard in or a file and place it in an X selection for pasting into
other X applications. xclip can also print an X selection to
standard out, which can then be redirected to a file or another
program.
Really cool utilities.
Bob
