| 1 .TH SNARFER 1 | |
| 2 .SH NAME | |
| 3 snarfer \- manage the snarf buffer | |
| 4 .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 5 .B snarfer | |
| 6 [ | |
| 7 .B -v | |
| 8 ] | |
| 9 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 10 .I Snarfer | |
| 11 watches the snarf buffer for changes. | |
| 12 Each time a program changes the snarf buffer contents, | |
| 13 .I snarfer | |
| 14 copies the new contents and then takes over control | |
| 15 of the buffer. | |
| 16 Because the snarf buffer contents are managed by | |
| 17 .I snarfer | |
| 18 instead of by individual programs, the contents remain | |
| 19 available even after the program that wrote them exits. | |
| 20 .PP | |
| 21 The | |
| 22 .B -v | |
| 23 option, intended for debugging, causes | |
| 24 .I snarfer | |
| 25 to print the new snarf buffer contents each time it changes. | |
| 26 .PP | |
| 27 On Mac OS X, | |
| 28 running | |
| 29 .I snarfer | |
| 30 keeps the X11 snarf buffer in sync with the Carbon snarf buffer, | |
| 31 working around a bug in the OS X X11 server. | |

| 38 Unix's | |
| 39 .IR xclipboard (1), | |

| 41 .SH BUGS | |
| 42 Both | |
| 43 .I xclipboard | |
| 44 and | |
| 45 .I snarfer | |
| 46 want sole control of the snarf buffer. | |
| 47 Running both at the same time will | |
| 48 pass the snarf buffer back and forth between them | |
| 49 in an infinite loop. |
