pbutils
ToolOpen SourceOriginal
pbutils is a set of command-line utilities that bring macOS-style clipboard operations to other platforms: pbcopy and pbpaste read and write the system clipboard, letting shell scripts and terminal workflows manipulate clipboard content the same way on every machine; and tnet, a simple telnet client.
When I wrote these I was a Mac user learning Linux, and was frustrated by the lack of tools. Of course, I later learned of the existence of xsel for Linux, but these were simple to write so all good.
