 9 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .SH DESCRIPTION
10 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I Snarfer
11 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull watches the snarf buffer for changes.
12 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull Each time a program changes the snarf buffer contents,
13 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I snarfer
14 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull copies the new contents and then takes over control
15 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull of the buffer.
16 977b25a7 2020-08-14 rsc Because the snarf buffer contents are managed by
17 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I snarfer
18 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull instead of by individual programs, the contents remain
19 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull available even after the program that wrote them exits.
20 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .PP
21 977b25a7 2020-08-14 rsc The
22 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .B -v
23 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull option, intended for debugging, causes
24 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I snarfer
25 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull to print the new snarf buffer contents each time it changes.

27 977b25a7 2020-08-14 rsc On Mac OS X,
28 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull running
29 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I snarfer
30 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull keeps the X11 snarf buffer in sync with the Carbon snarf buffer,
31 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull working around a bug in the OS X X11 server.

41 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .SH BUGS
42 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull Both
43 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I xclipboard
44 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull and
45 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull .I snarfer
46 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull want sole control of the snarf buffer.
47 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull Running both at the same time will
48 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull pass the snarf buffer back and forth between them
49 f2865ef6 2006-02-28 devnull in an infinite loop.
