Clipboard

English (en)

Clipboard
The clipboard is a buffer that some 
operating systems provide for short-
term storage and transfer within and 
between application programs.
A clipboard allows the temporary 
holding of data that the user wants 
to copy from one place to another. 
In a word processor application, for 
example, the user might want to copy 
or cut text from one part of a 
document and paste it in another part 
of the document or somewhere else.
