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

Environment variables:

- $CM_DEBUG: turn on debugging output (default: 0)
- $CM_DIR: specify the base directory to store the cache dir in (default: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, $TMPDIR, or /tmp)
- $CM_MAX_CLIPS: maximum number of clips to store, 0 for inf (default: 1000)
- $CM_ONESHOT: run once immediately, do not loop (default: 0)
- $CM_OWN_CLIPBOARD: take ownership of the clipboard (default: 1)
- $CM_SELECTIONS: space separated list of the selections to manage (default: "clipboard primary")
- $CM_IGNORE_WINDOW: disable recording the clipboard in windows where the windowname matches the given regex (e.g. a password manager), do not ignore any windows if unset or empty (default: unset)
EOF
    exit 0
