man pastebinit (1): 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.

-a [author] (default: $USER)

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

-E Print the content to stdout too

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

CONFIGURATION FILE

Here's an example file:

<pastebinit>
     <pastebin>http://paste.ubuntu.com</pastebin>
