&lt;clip_data&gt; is the data read from the clipboard (Required). This field must be PASSed with Share "Y" to receive the value.

&lt;num_chars&gt; returns the number of characters on the system clipboard (Optional). This field must be PASSed with Share "Y" to receive the value.

If &lt;clip_data&gt; is not large enough to hold the requested number of characters, --- .CLIENT GET CLIPBOARD will contain 'Clipdb chars truncat'.

Note that this can only retrieve text from the clipboard. Other types of data are not supported and will be ignored.
