scenario： We often copy and paste texts or images when using Linux OS (like Ubuntu), such as copy texts from one editor to another one.

questions:

How to use higher level programming language, like shell/perl/others,instead of c/c++ to do with kernel or X11 to solve this problem?

Thanks.

PS: The question is different from X11 Wait for and Get Clipboard Text.

@ tk421 Thanks for your suggestion, but I wanna know if we can solve this by shell script. – Jason May 08 '19 at 06:39
Did you look at `xsel`? https://linux.die.net/man/1/xsel – tk421 May 08 '19 at 15:05
