pastebinit: Command-line pastebin client

SYNOPSIS

pastebinit [-abfhiljmrtup]

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

Optional arguments (not supported by all pastebins)

-a [author] (default: $USER)

-b [pastebin url] (default is distro-specific with a fallback to pastebin.com)

-f [format for syntax-highlighting] (default: text) (check pastebin's website for complete list, example: python)

-h Help screen

-i [filename] Use filename for input

-l List all the supported pastebins

-u [username] (default: none)

-p [password] (default: none)

-v Version number

CONFIGURATION FILE

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:

     <pastebin>http://paste.ubuntu.com</pastebin>
     <author>Stephane Graber</author>
     <jabberid>[email protected]</jabberid>
