pbcopy&pbpaste

简单介绍

pbcopy 命令将标准输入复制到剪贴板。然后，你可以在任何地方使用 pbpaste 命令粘贴剪贴板内容。

Mac系统下，把命令行的输出存到剪切板

pwd | pbcopy

输出剪切板中的内容

pbpaste

pbcopy可以将输出内容复制到剪贴板中，可以复制文本、命令执行结果或者是文件中的内容

echo "test pbcopy" | pbcopy

tree | pbcopy

cat text.txt | pbcopy

pbpaste则是将剪切板内容输出。

pbpaste

WARNING

在图形界面下使用鼠标右键或者是 Ctrl + C 复制的内容也会存储在 pbcopy 中。

在 Linux 上使用

由于 Linux 和 Mac OS 是基于 Unix 的系统，因此许多命令可以在两个平台上运行。但是，某些命令可能只在一个平台上有，比如 pbcopy 和 pbpast 就是 Mac 系统下的命令。

从 Mac OS 切换到 Linux 的发行版的人将会找不到这两个命令，Linux 中没有 pbcopy 和 pbpaste 命令。但是，我们可以通过 shell 别名使用 xclip 和/或 xsel 命令复制 pbcopy 和 pbpaste 命令的功能。xclip 和 xsel 包存在于大多数 Linux 发行版的默认存储库中。请注意，你无需安装这两个程序。只需安装上述任何一个程序即可。

要在 Arch Linux 及其衍生产版上安装它们，请运行：

sudo pacman xclip

在 Fedora 上：

sudo dnf xclip

在 Debian、Ubuntu、Linux Mint 上：

sudo apt install xclip

安装后，你需要为 pbcopy 和 pbpaste 命令创建别名。为此，请编辑 ~/.bashrc：

vi ~/.bashrc

如果要使用 xclip，请粘贴以下行到 ~/.bashrc 文件尾部：

alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'
alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'

如果要使用 xsel，请在 ~/.bashrc 中粘贴以下行；并且之前安装 xclip 的命令也要改为安装 xsel。

alias pbcopy='xsel --clipboard --input'
alias pbpaste='xsel --clipboard --output'

保存并关闭文件。

接下来，运行以下命令以更新 ~/.bashrc 中的更改。

source ~/.bashrc

ZSH 用户将上述行粘贴到 ~/.zshrc 中。

TIP

至此，Linux 下的配置工作就已经完成了。之后可以像在 Mac 平台一样使用 pbcopy 和 pbpaste 命令了。

PBCOPY(1)                    General Commands Manual                   PBCOPY(1)

NAME
    pbcopy, pbpaste - provide copying and pasting to the pasteboard (the
    Clipboard) from command line

SYNOPSIS
    pbcopy [-help] [-pboard {general | ruler | find | font}]

    pbpaste [-help] [-pboard {general | ruler | find | font}] [-Prefer {txt 
    | rtf | ps}]

DESCRIPTION
    pbcopy takes the standard input and places it in the specified 
    pasteboard. If no pasteboard is specified, the general pasteboard will 
    be used by default.  The input is placed in the pasteboard as plain 
    text data unless it begins with the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file 
    header or the Rich Text Format (RTF) file header, in which case it is 
    placed in the pasteboard as one of those data types.

    pbpaste removes the data from the pasteboard and writes it to the
    standard output.  It normally looks first for plain text data in the
    pasteboard and writes that to the standard output; if no plain text data
    is in the pasteboard it looks for Encapsulated PostScript; if no EPS is
    present it looks for Rich Text.  If none of those types is present in the
    pasteboard, pbpaste produces no output.

       * Encoding:

       pbcopy and pbpaste use locale environment variables to determine the
       encoding to be used for input and output.  For example, absent other
       locale settings, setting the environment variable LANG=en_US. UTF-8 will
       cause pbcopy and pbpaste to use UTF-8 for input and output.  If an
       encoding cannot be determined from the locale, the standard C encoding
       will be used.  Use of UTF-8 is recommended.  Note that by default the
       Terminal application uses the UTF-8 encoding and automatically sets the
       appropriate locale environment variable.

OPTIONS
       -pboard {general | ruler | find | font}
       specifies which pasteboard to copy to or paste from.  If no
       pasteboard is given, the general pasteboard will be used by
       default.

       -Prefer {txt | rtf | ps}
              tells pbpaste what type of data to look for in the pasteboard
              first.  As stated above, pbpaste normally looks first for plain
              text data; however, by specifying -Prefer ps you can tell pbpaste
              to look first for Encapsulated PostScript.  If you specify -Prefer
              rtf, pbpaste looks first for Rich Text format.  In any case,
              pbpaste looks for the other formats if the preferred one is not
              found.  The txt option replaces the deprecated ascii option, which
              continues to function as before.  Both indicate a preference for
              plain text.

BUGS
       There is no way to tell pbpaste to get only a specified data type.
