PROGRAM:
NAME
yank — yank terminal output to clipboard
SYNOPSIS
yank [-lx | -v] [-d delim] [-g pattern [-i]] [-- command [argument ...]]
DESCRIPTION
Read input from stdin and display a selection interface that allows a field to be selected
and copied to the clipboard. Fields are either recognized by a regular expression using the
-g option or by splitting the input on a delimiter sequence using the -d option, see
DELIMITERS.
Using the arrow keys will move the selected field. The interface support several Emacs like
key bindings, see COMMANDS. Pressing the return key will invoke the yank command and write
the selected field to the its stdin. The yank command defaults to xsel(1) but could be
anything that accepts input on stdin. When invoking yank everything supplied after the --
option will be used as the yank command, see EXAMPLES.
