 # lclipd
-A minimal clipboard manager in lua.</br>
+A small clipboard manager in lua.</br>
 
 # How it works
 * lclipd runs the clipboard contents through `detect-secrets` and then puts the content in a sqlite3 database
-* lclipd keeps the clipboard content database in the `tmp` directory
 * Both X11 and wayland are supported
 * it is meant to be run as a user service. It can also be simply run by just running the script directly
 * the logs are put in the system log

-One way to query the db through the TCP socket is like this:
+You could also query the db through the TCP server.</br>
+The TCP server will return a JSON array as a response.</br>
+You can use something like `jq` for further processing of the returned JSON object on the shell.</br>
+An example of a terminal-oriented "frontend":
 ```sh
-echo 'select * from lclipd;' > ./cmd.sql
