clipboard in console program

I am porting a small Windows C console I/O application
to Zaurus.

Is there a way to access Qt clipboard from it; something
to substitute for Win32 API GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT)
and SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, ptxt) and their associated
open, close, ger size etc. calls in a simple C console
program? (At this point I would like to avoid turning
this into full Qt GUI program).

TIA
