[range] xc [-a] [-r] [-l] [-f <pathname> | <name>]
"text copy"
DESCRIPTION:
'xc' copies a range of text into either an internal paste buffer
accessible from X selections, an internal paste buffer that is local
to the edit session, a named paste buffer file in the paste
buffer directory, or an text file.
xc operates on a region of text that is either explicitly defined or
allowed to default. If no region is defined prior to invoking xc, the
default region is from the current cursor position to the end of the
line.
Examples:
xc Copy the effected region into the default paste
buffer as defined by the Ce.dfltPasteBuf X
resource. The -dpb option or the
Ce.dfltPasteBuf X resource can be used to change
this name. This is often changed to the name
PRIMARY. PRIMARY is the name of the paste buffer
used by xterm and many other X applications. If the
X selection is owned by a ce session when that edit
session terminates, the paste buffer data is saved
in the paste buffer directory as a file. After the
data is saved in the paste buffer directory, it is
still available to Ce programs. Other X
applications will no longer be able to access it.
xc <name> Copy the effected region into the internal paste
buffer with name <name>. This operates exactly like
the default "xc", an arbitrary name can be specified
as the buffer name. There are three special paste
buffer names (BangIn, BangOut, and BangErr) used by
the ! (bang) command, which always use the paste
buffer files.
xc -f <pathname> Copy the effected region into an on-disk file.
PARAMETERS
-l Use a "local only" paste buffer. This works like a normal paste
buffer except that the X server does not get involved and the
contents of the paste buffer are not saved in a file upon
termination. This improves performance and disables the copying
of data between different windows. It is useful for cut
commands which are throwing data away.
-r Treat the affected region as a rectangular region. See the
'regions' help file mentioned below for an exact description of
the behavior of rectangular regions.
-a Append mode. Append the region being copied to the paste buffer.
-f <path>
Copy the affected region into a file on the machine Ce is
executing on. Text copied to a file will probably not be able
to be pasted into a Ce window executing on another machine
unless that machine has access to the file which was pasted
into.
<name>
Copy to the named X paste buffer.
