Basic demo, but should be ~promisified

function clipboardTransport(data) {
  let clipCommand = process.platform === 'win32' ? 'clip' : 'pbcopy';

  const proc = spawn(clipCommand);
  proc.on('close', () => console.log('Copied to clipboard'));
  proc.on('error', console.error);

  proc.stdin.write(data);
  proc.stdin.end();
}
