Re: bug#8247: How to write an application

[alfred inacio]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your help here. I know exactly what I want, a very simple application which copies the output into the clipboard... for example, say my program is called bordpst... then if I did this:

pwd > bordpst

then, I went into my GUI and pressed ctrl + v, I would paste the directly I was in from above. I couldn't find anything like this. Maybe I didn't look hard enough? 

Kind Regards,

Alfred

The easiest was is probably to learn by example, by downloading the
source code to an existing implementation and studying that.

I'm marking this as not a bug; the address@hidden list is better
suited for general programming questions not related to a specific bug
in an existing coreutils.  As it is, you might get a better answer by
telling us more about what application you are trying to write and why
none of the existing implementations do what you need to cause you to
want to write a new application.
