[9fans] copy/paste between osx and plan9 running in parallels
i'm using parallels more and more often nowadays to run Plan 9. one of
the things that annoy me is the inability to copy/paste between the
hosted plan9 and the hosting osx. i couldn't find a solution anywhere
so i wrote a file server that exports the osx snarf buffer to the
parallels network via 9p. this fs serves a single file, "snarf", which
is mounted before /dev/snarf just before rio is run. you can guess
what happens when you write to and from it.
more explanation and source can be found here:
http://mirtchovski.com/p9/osxsnarf/
here's how my lib/profile looks in the "terminal" section (my
parallels machine is called "parr"):
if(~ $sysname parr) {
# under parallels try to import OSX's
# snarf buffer served by osxsnarf
srv tcp!10.1.0.2!18001 snarf
mount -b /srv/snarf /dev
}
yes, i did use osxsnarf to copy the above text in rio and paste it in osx.

I don't use OS X, but I generally use Inferno to export #^ and #U* for
things like that. It's incredibly convenient.
