+# Encrypted, remote clipboard insertion via SSH
+# By Henrik Lissner <henrik@lissner.net>
+#
+# A simple script for sending data to another computer's clipboard via SSH. Acts
+# as a universal clipboard. This script must be available on the remote.  Pipe
+# through gpg if you want the contents encrypted.
+#
+# It helps if your ssh connection is pubkey authenticated and password-less.
+#
+# If the destination (or host) is a mac, use pbcopy and pbpaste instead.
+#
+# Workflow:
+#   host  $ echo "Hello world!" | rclip guest
+#   guest $ rclip
+#         Hello world!
+#     OR
+#   host  $ echo "Hello world!" | gpg -e | rclip guest
+#   guest $ rclip | gpg -d
+#         Hello world!
