Notes

  • •pbcopy reads from stdin and places content on the clipboard.
  • •pbpaste writes clipboard content to stdout.
  • •These are macOS-only commands (not available on Linux).
  • •Binary clipboard contents (images, etc.) require AppleScript.
  • •Clipboard changes are immediate and system-wide.
