copy/paste/move files from command line for macOS

pbcopyf

Copy, paste and move files from command line for macOS. For example, you can put some files to pasteboard by pbcopyf and use ⌘+V in Finder to paste it. Basically:

 ⌘C = pbcopyf
 ⌘V = pbpastef
⌥⌘V = pbmovef

pbcopy and pbpaste can only handle text, not files. Hence these tools.

NOTICE: these tools haven't gone through extensive tests, so don't use them on important files!
