Struct wayland_clipboard_listener::WlClipboardCopyStream

pub struct WlClipboardCopyStream { /* private fields */ }

copy stream, it can used to make a wl-copy

Implementations

impl WlClipboardCopyStream

pub fn init() -> Result<Self, WlClipboardListenerError>

init a copy steam, you can use it to copy some files

pub fn copy_to_clipboard( &mut self, data: Vec<u8>, mimetypes: Vec<&str>, useprimary: bool ) -> Result<(), WlClipboardListenerError>

it will run a never end loop, to handle the paste event, like what wl-copy do it will live until next copy event happened you need to pass data and if use useprimary to it, if is useprimary, you can use the middle button of mouse to paste Take primary-selection as reference

use wayland_clipboard_listener::{WlClipboardCopyStream, WlClipboardListenerError};
let args = std::env::args();
if args.len() != 2 {
    println!("You need to pass a string to it");
} else {
    let context: &str = &args.last().unwrap();
    let mut stream = WlClipboardCopyStream::init().unwrap();
    stream.copy_to_clipboard(context.as_bytes().to_vec(), vec!["STRING"], false).unwrap();
