clipboard

Documentation

Overview

Package clipboard provides a thin wrapper for writing to and reading from the system clipboard. It uses platform-native CLI tools (xclip/xsel/wl-copy on Linux, pbcopy/pbpaste on macOS, clip.exe/PowerShell on Windows) so that no CGO or display-server headers are required at build time. Availability is determined at runtime by probing for the tools.
