+What is xcb?
+============
+Do you ever wish you could cut two or more separate pieces of text
+at once from a window? Do you ever need to save the output from one
+command for reuse in several subsequent tasks? Do you ever find
+yourself wanting some easy means of globally exporting data, e.g.
+to a parent shell, to another xterm or application, or to another
+machine or user? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then
+xcb is for you.
+
+Xcb provides access to the cut buffers built into every X server.
+It allows the buffers to be manipulated either via the command line,
+or with the mouse in a point and click manner. The buffers can be
+used as holding pens to store and retrieve arbitrary data fragments,
+so any number of different pieces of data can be saved and recalled later.
+The program is designed primarily for use with textual data.
