Bash aliases to handle clipboard

For example, if you want the output of a command (e.g. echo) to be copied to your selection clipboard (the one you paste using Ctrl+V), you can do:

echo "the output of a command" | cs

To get what's on your selection clipboard (things you copied with Ctrl+C) and pipe it to a command (e.g. base64):

vs | base64

pbcopy/pbpaste can be used for the same sort of thing on mac
