snarf - host window system clipboard bind -a #^ /dev

bind -b #^ /chan

/dev/snarf

/chan/snarf

Snarf serves a single file, snarf . Reading the file returns the current contents of the host window system's own clipboard (equivalent to the Inferno window system's `snarf buffer'). If the file is opened for writing, subsequent writes append to an internal buffer; when the file is closed, that buffer's contents are written to the host window system's clipboard.

Emu (1) automatically binds the device to both /dev and /chan when it starts up, if a window system is configured.
