Simple program to store images to and retrieve images from the clipboard using the command-line.

imclip [-o outfile [-t type]| -i infile]

• -o or --out: The name of the file to which imclip must write image data from the clipboard.
• -t or --type: The image type of the file (e.g. png, jpeg, etc.). This is an optional flag that can be supplied alongside -o or --out.
• -i or --in: The name of the file from which imclip must read image data and store it into the clipboard.

imclip -o awesome.jpg

Writes the image that is currently in the clipboard to the file named awesome.jpg. The type of the image is discerned from the extension. In this case, data is written into a JPEG file.

imclip --out=awesome.png --type=png

Writes the image that is currently in the clipboard to the file named awesome.png. The type of the image is explicitly specified with the --type parameter. In this case, data is written into a PNG file.

imclip -i puppies.jpg

Copies the image inside puppies.jpg into the clipboard.

imclip --in=robots.png

Copies the image inside robots.png into the clipboard.

Just run build.sh. You will need GTK 2.0 development libraries.

I'm effectively a C noob. This is the first C program I've written in a long time. So it's probably not very clean or well written. Comments and cleanup welcome.
