Unless you need to test subtle issues like
https://github.com/astrand/xclip/issues/20
"Not closing stdout when setting clipboard from stdin"
faced by e.g. tmux users, something simple should be enough:
#!/bin/sh -eu
: "${XCLIP_MOCK_FILE:=$HOME/.xclip-mock}"
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
case "$1" in
-i|-in)
;;
-o|--out) exec cat -- "$XCLIP_MOCK_FILE"
;;
-selection|-target) shift
;;
*) # FIXME xclip treats all unknown options at any position as files
break
;;
esac
shift
done
exec cat -- "$@" >"$XCLIP_MOCK_FILE"
Thank, Max! I'll pass it on to the guy who needs it. He slings Wolfram language code for a living.
