.TH GPBS 1 "September 2006" GNUstep "GNUstep System Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
gpbs \- GNUstep PasteBoard Server
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
.P
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
daemon serves as a clipboard/pasteboard for GNUstep programs,
|
|
handling the copying, cutting and pasting of objects as well as
|
|
drag and drop operations between applications.
|
|
.P
|
|
Every user needs to have his own instance of
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
running. While
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
will be started automatically as soon as it is needed,
|
|
it is recommend to start
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
in a personal login script like ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc.
|
|
Alternatively you can launch gpbs when your windowing system or the
|
|
window manager is started. For example, on systems with X11 you can
|
|
launch
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
from your .xinitrc script or alternatively
|
|
- if you are running Window Maker - put it in Window Maker's autostart
|
|
script.
|
|
See the
|
|
.I GNUstep Build Guide
|
|
for a sample startup script.

|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-NSHost\fR \fB<hostname>\fR
|
|
attaches \fBgpbs\fR to a remote session.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\--GSStartupNotification\fR
|
|
sends a notification through the NSDistributedNotificationCenter (i.e.
|
|
gdnc) so that apps know that it has started up. This is only relevant
|
|
if the application itself tries to startup \fBgpbs\fR (which means
|
|
\fBgpbs\fR was not started at session login).
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\--daemon\fR
|
|
starts \fBgpbs\fR as a daemon - mostly this means that all output gets
|
|
sent to syslog rather than the terminal.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\--no-fork\fR
|
|
does not fork a separate process
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\--verbose\fR
|
|
makes \fB\gpbs\fR his logging more verbose
|
|
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.B gdomap -L GNUstepGSPasteboardServer
|
|
will lookup instances of
|
|
.B gpbs.
|
|
.P
|
|
Alternatively,
|
|
.B gdomap -N
|
|
will list all registered names on the local host.
|
|
.P
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Versions of
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
up to (including) 1.7.2 have problems with copy and paste of
|
|
mulit-lingual text, as it used the atom XA_STRING alone to
|
|
exchange string data between X clients (and thus GNUstep clients).
|
|
This means
|
|
.B gpbs
|
|
is inherently unable to do cut-and-paste with characters
|
|
other than ISO Latin1 ones, TAB, and NEWLINE.
