prompt = r"""
Python wrapper for aclient and cclient, called get and put.
Use main() and argparse.

get <name> <name> <name>
does the same as cat name, unless name starts with . or ,.
If name = ., then paste from the clipboard.
If name = .clipname, then take the output of cclient get clipname
If name = ,clipname, then take the output of aclient get clipname.
If any result other than the last doesn't end with a \n, then append a \n.
Then concatenate the results and send to output.
Output is stdout by default, unless -o is also specified. If -p is also
specified, then print anyway (as well as outputting). The argument to -o is
similar: . is the clipboard, .clipname pipes output into cclient put clipname,
and ,clipname pipes output to aclient put clipname.

put is the reverse, but can reference multiple clips. By default put takes
input from stdin. Inputs are specified by the -i argument, multiple are
possible. Again . .clipname and ,clipname get from cclient get and aclient get
and the clipboard. - gets from stdin, and if specified multiple times, stdin is
cached and repeated. Other arguments are output names, following the same .
.clipname ,clipname convention as before.
