A basic example showing the main library functions:

• clippy.CopyText() - Copy text to clipboard
• clippy.Copy() - Smart copy (detects text vs binary files)
• clippy.CopyData() - Copy from reader with automatic text/binary detection
• clippy.GetText() - Get text from clipboard
• clippy.GetFiles() - Get file paths from clipboard

This example demonstrates both the high-level API (with smart detection) and basic clipboard operations.

Using in Your Projects

Add clippy to your project:

go get github.com/neilberkman/clippy

Then import and use:

import "github.com/neilberkman/clippy"

// Your code here
err := clippy.Copy("document.pdf")
