PASTEBINIT(1) User Commands PASTEBINIT(1)
NAME
pastebinit - command-line pastebin client
SYNOPSIS
pastebinit [OPTION...] [FILE...]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pastebinit commands.
pastebinit reads text and sends it to a "pastebin" on the internet,
returning the URL to the user.
It allows the text to be passed through a pipe (|) or from files as
arguments.
OPTIONS
General arguments
-b [pastebin] (default is distro-specific with a fallback to
dpaste.com)
-i [input file]
-l List all supported pastebins
-E Print the content to stdout too
-h Print the help screen
-v Print the version number
-V Print verbose output to stderr
Optional arguments (not supported by all pastebins)
-a [author] (default: $USER)
-t [title of paste] (default: none)
-f [format of paste] (default: text)
-j [jabberid] (default: none)
-m [permatag] (default: none)
-P [private level] (default: 1)
-u [username] (default: none)
-p [password] (default: none)
CONFIGURATION FILES
If a ~/.pastebinit.xml file is found in the user's home directory,
pastebinit will use it for its configuration.
Here's an example file:
<pastebinit>
<pastebin>paste.ubuntu.com</pastebin>
<author>Stephane Graber</author>
<jabberid>stgraber@stgraber.org</jabberid>
<format>text</format>
<private>1</private>
</pastebinit>
Similarly, pastebin configuration files can be put under a
~/.pastebin.d directory to override the specific options of those.
XDG config and data locations are also supported for these two.
