Boilerpipe Text	xclip -sel c < input_file will copy the contents of input_file to clipboard. xclip requires installation. To install sudo apt install xclip -sel stands for -selection . c is for clipboard . Interchangeable. Capable of much more, I advise reading its man page. There is also xsel . This answer on Unix SE gives a very thorough answer to this exact question.
