            1 .TH SNARFER 1
            2 .SH NAME
            3 snarfer \- manage the snarf buffer
            4 .SH SYNOPSIS
            5 .B snarfer
            6 [
            7 .B -v
            8 ]
            9 .SH DESCRIPTION
           10 .I Snarfer
           11 watches the snarf buffer for changes.
           12 Each time a program changes the snarf buffer contents,
           13 .I snarfer
           14 copies the new contents and then takes over control
           15 of the buffer.
           16 Because the snarf buffer contents are managed by
           17 .I snarfer
           18 instead of by individual programs, the contents remain
           19 available even after the program that wrote them exits.
           20 .PP
           21 The
           22 .B -v
           23 option, intended for debugging, causes
           24 .I snarfer
           25 to print the new snarf buffer contents each time it changes.
           26 .PP
           27 On Mac OS X,
           28 running
           29 .I snarfer
           30 keeps the X11 snarf buffer in sync with the Carbon snarf buffer,
           31 working around a bug in the OS X X11 server.

           41 .SH BUGS
           42 Both
           43 .I xclipboard
           44 and
           45 .I snarfer
           46 want sole control of the snarf buffer.
           47 Running both at the same time will
           48 pass the snarf buffer back and forth between them
           49 in an infinite loop.
