Copy text to clipboard

[Stefab]

Hi all,

I need to know if there is a way to copy text to the clipboard.
I don't have a linux based Os and i have never worked in one.
Is there a clipboard in linux os-es like there is in windows?
I want to make an application that could copy a string to the clipboard
so that you can paste it in another aplication.
How can i do that?

Thank you very much.

Not in Linux per say.

But the Windowing environments built on-top of Linux all have the concept of a clipboard.
You need to look at the GTK or KDE toolkits.

Good GTK reference.

I think there's an Xorg standard, is there not?
