WSLCLIP(1)

📦 version 4.1.4, in alpine 3.24

💅 wslclip — like, the whole vibe

Hey bestie 🫶 so this is a page from the WSL Utilities User Manual, and today's main character is wslclip from WSLCLIP(1). Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

wslgsu — a component of WSL Utilities.

Not me noticing the name says wslgsu while the whole page is about wslclip 🙈 I don't make the rules, I just report them, and the page literally says wslgsu - Component of WSL Utilities. Keeping it exactly as it is because accuracy is the aesthetic. 💅

🎀 SYNOSIS 🎀

(Yes, that's how it's spelled on the page — iconic, no notes 💀)

wslclip [-hvg]

wslclip CONTENT

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the tea ☕: this tool lets you get or set the clipboard content on Windows — and the slay part is that it does it without X/wayland support. No display server needed, she just works. Lowkey obsessed. ✨

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -h, --help — prints a simple help. That's it, that's the whole thing 💖
  • -v, --version — prints the current version, so you can be like "which one am I on rn" 👑
  • -g, --get — gets the clipboard content from Windows 🔥
