CLI Clipboard Clear

ed clipboard clear

Forgets the whole history.

ed clipboard clear [--keep-pinned] [--json]

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
--keep-pinned	flag	off	Keep pinned entries.
--json	flag	off	Emit JSON on stdout.

{
  "remaining": 3,
  "removed": 1214
}

removed is a count here, and remaining is what survived, which is 0 without --keep-pinned and the number of pinned entries with it.

There is no confirmation flag on this one: unlike ed machines rm or ed cleaner clean, clear acts immediately. Orphaned blobs are pruned with it, so the disk space comes back at once. Clearing an already empty history writes nothing and reports cleared 0 entries, exit 0.

Examples:

ed clipboard clear
ed clipboard clear --keep-pinned
ed clipboard clear --json

$ ed clipboard clear --keep-pinned
cleared 1214 entries
