fstools : tt - multi-user clipboard

tt is a multi-user clipboard program for the shell.
With tt you can exhange STDIN/STDOUT and files between different users.
The clipboard itself is $TT (default: /var/tmp/tt).
tt stores up to 9 clipboard versions.
Limitation: tt does not work across different hosts! Use xx or yy instead.

tt comes with vv, zz and del in one package.

Options and modes are:

  "tt"              interactive clipboard selector
  "tt FILE(s)"      write tar of FILE(s) to $TT
  "tt -"            write STDIN (keyboard, mouse buffer) to $TT
  "tt +"            add STDIN (keyboard, mouse buffer) to $TT
  "tt --"           write $TT to STDOUT or extract tar from $TT
  "tt ---"          like "tt --" but overwrite existing file
  "tt | ..."        write $TT to pipe
  "... | tt"        write STDIN from pipe to $TT
  "... | tt +"      add STDIN from pipe to $TT
  "... | tt -"      write STDIN from pipe to $TT and STDOUT
  "... | tt | ..."  save pipe data to $TT (like tee)

Examples:

  tt *.jpg          # write tar of *.jpg to $TT
  ls -l | tt        # pipe output of ls to $TT
  tt | wc -l        # pipe $TT to wc
  tt --             # extract $TT
