mclip is no longer developed. Use XSel instead.
mclip is an command line tool to read from and write to the selections (aka clipboards) in X Window System (X11). It is essentially a reimplementation of xclip progarm, but unlike xclip, it correctly handles Unicode and other locale-dependent character encodings.
You need Xlib, a C++ Compiler, and a UNIX-like system to build mclip.
