SYNOPSIS
autocutsel [-selection selection_name] [-cutbuffer number] [-debug] [-verbose] [-fork] [-pause milliseconds] [-buttonup]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the autocutsel command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
autocutsel tracks changes in the server's cutbuffer and clipboard selection. When the clipboard is changed, it updates the cutbuffer. When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the clipboard selection. The cutbuffer and clipboard selection are always synchronized. Since the VNC client synchronizes the Windows' clipboard and the server's cutbuffer, all three "clipboards" are always kept synchronized. When you copy some text in Windows, the cutbuffer and the clipboard selection are updated. When you copy text on the server using either the cutbuffer or the clipboard selection, the Windows's clipboard is always updated.
