# clipbuzz
`clipbuzz` is a simple program that uses the [X Fixes Extension]
to wait until a new clipboard or primary selection is available and exit.
It was translated from [clipnotify] in C to Zig, and is intended for use
within a clipboard manager like [threa] to avoid polling for selections.

## Installation
`clipbuzz` depends on [Xlib] and an [implementation of Xfixes]
and uses [Zig] build tool:

```sh
zig build install --prefix $PREFIX
```

where `$PREFIX` is usually `$HOME/.local`, `/usr/local` or `/usr`
depending on your preference.  The dependencies can usually be
found in your operating system's repository, and if you are lucky,
`clipbuzz` itself as well!

## Usage
```sh
while clipbuzz
do # something with xclip or xsel
done
```
