clipmenud is the daemon that collects and caches what's on the clipboard.
when you want to select a clip.

Environment variables:

- $CM_ONESHOT: run once immediately, do not loop (default: 0)
- $CM_DEBUG: turn on debugging output (default: 0)
- $CM_OWN_CLIPBOARD: take ownership of the clipboard (default: 1)
- $CM_MAX_CLIPS: maximum number of clips to store, 0 for inf (default: 1000)
- $CM_DIR: specify the base directory to store the cache dir in (default: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, $TMPDIR, or /tmp)
EOF
    exit 0
