```kotlin
interface Clipboard
```

## Properties

```kotlin
val nativeClipboard: NativeClipboard
```


Returns the native clipboard that exposes the full functionality of platform clipboard.



## Functions

```kotlin
suspend fun getClipEntry(): ClipEntry?
```


Returns the clipboard entry that's provided by the platform's ClipboardManager.

This item can include arbitrary content like text, images, videos, or any data that may be
provided through a mediator. Returned entry may contain multiple items with different types.

It returns null when the clipboard is empty.

Calling this function on Android will access the Clipboard's contents, and the first time it
happens this will trigger a warning that says "App pasted from Clipboard". Use
`nativeClipboard` and `primaryClipDescription` on Android to circumvent this issue if you are
only interested in querying what is available in the clipboard.


```kotlin
suspend fun setClipEntry(clipEntry: ClipEntry?)
```


Puts the given `clipEntry` in platform's ClipboardManager.
