Copy File to Clipboard

Question

Simple Question that I just realized would be very useful.

Under Linux (or really any 'nix environment) is it possible from the command line (or by other fashions, but primarily command line) to copy a file to the clipboard? Any example of this working would be appreciated but the best answer would be a general case in which this is possible across multiple 'nix environments (I'm running Fedora 10 atm if that makes any difference).

Answer 1

Looks like you want xclip.

Answer 2

Are you in X? Or text-only?

If you're in text mode, it's dead simple if you're using screen (which is awesome):

<C-A>:readbuf /path/to/file

To paste:

<C-A>]
