Name

pbpaste

Synopsis

pbpaste[-help] [-Prefer { ascii | rtf | ps }]

Prints the contents of the Clipboard to standard output. The combination of pbcopy and pbpaste may be an interesting tool to use in scripting. However, the Clipboard can be modified by other processes at any time, which limits the tool’s actual usefulness.

Options

-help

Prints a usage statement to standard output.

-Prefer

Specifies the output format to use if the desired format (ASCII, Rich Text Format, or PostScript) is available in the Clipboard.
