File Format
Name Windows clipboard
Ontology
Extension(s) .clp

The Windows clipboard holds data being temporarily copied/cut and pasted within programs running under the Microsoft Windows operating system. There are various sub-formats of it to handle different sorts of text, graphical, and other data. While this is usually just held in memory, sometimes it may be saved in files with a .clp extension.

Contents

[edit] Identification

.clp files begin with a 2-byte signature. Known signatures:

  • 0x50 0xc3 (Windows 3.1)
  • 0x51 0xc3 (NT)
  • 0x52 0xc3 ("BK")

[edit] Specifications

Documentation of the .clp file format is lacking, but ReactOS is open source, and appears to support at least one version of the standard format (WriteClipboardFile() in clipbrd/fileutils.c).

[edit] Software

For .clp files:

  • Clipboard Viewer / ClipBook Viewer - Included with Microsoft Windows prior to Vista.
  • XnView - Can read graphical files.
  • IrfanView - Can read graphical files.
  • Deark
