pbpaste
Synopsis
pbpaste[-help] [-Prefer { ascii | rtf | ps }]
Prints the contents of the Clipboard to standard output. The
combination of pbcopy and
pbpaste may be an interesting tool to use in
scripting. However, the Clipboard can be modified by other processes
at any time, which limits the tool’s actual
usefulness.
Options
-
-help Prints a usage statement to standard output.
-
-Prefer Specifies the output format to use if the desired format (ASCII, Rich Text Format, or PostScript) is available in the Clipboard.
