Say, maybe it could even no need X around... becoming a general paste
buffer one could read and write to/from, if X is not detected...

Bug#540678: mention how to see usage upon option error

2009-09-23 Thread Maximilian Gass 
Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed without breaking backwards compatibility and
I don't want to speculate where xclip might be used.

The problem is that currently you can just use filenames starting with a dash,
but if you were to recognize invalid options, such filenames would have to be
seperated by --.

I am currently considering creating a modern replacement for xclip that does not
use the X argument parsing style.

Bug#540678: mention how to see usage upon option error

2009-08-09 Thread jidanni 
Package: xclip
Version: 0.11-1
Severity: wishlist

$ xclip --help
xclip: --help: No such file or directory
$ xclip -z
xclip: -z: No such file or directory

In all such cases also say 'use -h to see usage'.
