SSELP(1)

✨ NAME ✨

sselp β€” bestie, it's the simple X selection printer πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sselp [-v]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so picture this: sselp takes the X selection and prints it straight to standard out. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "middleman but make it minimal" πŸ’…

But here's the tea β€” if there's no X client owning the selection, it just exits. No drama, no error spiral, it just dips πŸ™ˆ

Why do you care? Because it's so useful for scripts, bestie. You can query the X selection without having to press mouse Button2 in all those cumbersome ways. No more awkward middle-click gymnastics, periodt. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

  • -v β€” feed it this and sselp prints its version. That's it. That's the whole option list. Short king behavior fr fr ✨
