Retrieving timeline information

The "clips get" command returns information for each available clip, for a

given range in timecode, on the current timeline. Without parameters, the

command returns information for all clips on timeline:

clips get↵

If parameters "in: timecode" and "out: timecode" are specified, the

command returns information for clips within the specified range.

If "out: " is not specified, it only returns the information of the clip containing

in "in: " point.

clips get: in: {timecode} out: {timecode}↵

The server responds with a list of clip IDs, names and timecodes:

205 clips info:↵

clip count: {Count}↵

{Clip ID}: {Name} {Start timecode} {Duration timecode}↵

…

Note that the clip list format has changed incompatibly in protocol version

i.e., Start timecode information field is inserted to each clip information line.
