Most GUI operating systems provide a feature called the "clipboard". Anything you copy or cut is automatically placed in the "clipboard" storage, permitting you to later paste it into some other place. This information will remain in the "clipboard" storage until you copy or cut something else (which will replace what was previously stored), permitting you to paste the same thing in many places if you want to.

The "clipboard" storage may be in different places or use different types of data structures depending on what type of information is being stored and its size (e.g. main memory, a temporary file, a temporary folder).

  • The simplest clipboard technology (which has been around for a long time) is a wooden or plastic board with a spring loaded clip mounted on it that can be used to hold one or more sheets of paper. It can also be used as a portable writing surface for writing on those papers.
  • In computer terminology a clipboard is a buffer used in various types of editing programs for temporarily saving information while performing cut and paste operations.
