Hello,
There are times when I need to cut and paste the output from a command
line program into a graphical program. The problem occurs when the output
is more than one screen long. I just thought it would be quite nice to
be able to redirect the output into /dev/clipboard, then switch to the

That's a good idea. However, rather than /dev/X all you need is an X program
which
would read from standard input and put whatever it gets there onto the
clipboard. Now
that you mention this I'm surprised someone hasn't done it.

/dev/clipboard would require kernel modifications, and is probably not
what you are lookign for.
What WOULD be useful would be an X11 app that has the following feature:

Assuming that you can get the output of your program into a
file (via script or some other method), then you could use a native
X editor to open the file, copy all the text, and paste it somewhere.
I am surprised I didn't think of this earlier, but I don't use X much.

Everything in /dev is run by the kernel; when you write or read
a file in /dev, the kernel calls the appropriate driver functions
to deal with it. Thus /dev/ttyS*

Um, why would he need to be? So long as DISPLAY is set properly, the app

I notice that dselect has offix-clipboard and there used to be a
xclipboard, but dselect doesent find it in stablr now. I haven't used
either one so I can't comment on how well they work.
