Clipboard inside Linux

[Stois]

I know how to copy paste information outside of Linux via SSH/Putty, but I would like to use a native clipboard function inside the unit - is there such a thing?

clip - I think is the command.

There is one if you are using the GUI (directly or via vnc).
on the CLI vim/vimdiff has one so you can copy from one file to another, but most copying is accomplished with output redirection like;

Code: Select all

grep -A 3 something this.txt >> that.txt

will append something + 3 lines to that.txt from this.txt.
