Hi,

Is there any way that I can copy image file contents to clipboard from
command line in Linux?

I'm using a command line based screenshot program (scrot) but the
output from this command is put in file. I need to have a command to
further copy the snapped image file into clipboard, and encapsulate
this all into simple push button.

Any idea about how to use this?

Thanks in advance,
Ahmad

I just tested the kde version, and it's for text only.
I haven't found anything yet that works for image files,
for either kde or gnome.

From what I have found so far, it looks like a gnome would
require a python script using gtk, but I don't have any
working examples. That's as far as I'm going to search on
this. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer.

Try xclip, it reads from stdin and should allow you to do

xclip < image.jpg

to copy the image to the clipboard.
