jetpack.os.clipboard.set( data, [dataType] )

<code>data</code>: The value to be placed into the system clipboard. For now, this can only be text or an image. In the future, it can be anything that is place-able on the system clipboard.

<code>dataType</code> (optional): Let's Jetpack know what kind of data is being passed in, in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type mime-type format]. For example, a plain string would take <code>"text/plain"</code>, HTML would be <code>"text/html"</code>, and an PNG would be <code>"image/png"</code>. If <code>dataType</code> isn't passed in, Jetpack makes its best guess or defaults to text.

<code>options</code>: A dictionary containing key-value pairs of <code>data</code> and <code>dataType</code>

<code>clipboard</code> some operating systems have more than one clipboard: the "global" clipboard and the "selection" clipboard. You can pass in either "global" or "selection". If you pass in a non-existent clipboard, an error is thrown.
