What is win32yang

It is a clipboard tool for Windows. A drop-in replacement for win32yank.

Set the clipboard

help | win32yang -i --oem

Get the clipboard

win32yang -o --utf8 >clipboard.txt

What are the advantages

Unfortunately, it is not much faster than the original win32yank. The bottleneck is a process creation time. However, win32yang

• is very small
• arguably, few percent faster
• arguably, more stable
• written in pure C, no Rust needed
• supports ACP and OEM code pages as well as UTF-8

How to compile

Just make it!
