DESCRIPTION

9       Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
10       selection popup that allows one to run external commands to store the
11       selection somewhere and fetch it again.
12
13       We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which just
14       means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
15       reads it.
16
17       The commands can be set using the "URxvt.remote-selection.store" and
18       "URxvt.remote-selection.fetch" resources. The first should read the
19       selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should
20       provide the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).
21
22       The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
23
24          URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
25          URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
