[Spice-devel] Need simple spice copy and past device (for terminal use)

[Serle Shuman]

Assuming that the host is a windows based environment and the guest is s
qemu based linux terminal only environment e.g ubuntu server without x11,
then there are currently no features targeted specifically at exposing a
character device in the terminal that one can redirect text to and from the
host's clipboard. e.g.

1. from host -> guest (via spice clipboard)
host: copy from cheetsheet to clipboard
guest shell: dev/cb > <command>         # redirect from clipboard device to
standard out

2. from guest -> host (via spice clipboard)
guest: <command> > dev/cb                  # redirect standard out to the
clipboard device
host:
  a. graphical paste menu item in some application
  b. dev/cb > command                          # redirect from spice cb
device on host to another command
