NAME

6       fpaste - A cli frontend for the fpaste.org pastebin
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fpaste [OPTION]... [FILE]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       It is often useful to be able to easily paste text to the Fedora Paste‐
13       bin at http://fpaste.org and this  simple  utility  will  do  that  and
14       return  the  resulting  URL so that people may examine the output. This
15       can hopefully help folks who are for some reason stuck without X, work‐
16       ing remotely, or any other reason they may be unable to paste something
17       into the pastebin using a web browser.

EXAMPLES

76       Paste file foo.txt at fpaste.org
77
78              fpaste foo.txt
79
80       Paste  output  of  ifconfig  to fpaste.org with description "my network
81       config"
82
83              ifconfig | fpaste
84
85       Paste mycode.py to fpaste.org with description as  "problem  with  foo"
86       and language "python"
87
88              fpaste -l python mycode.py
89
90       Paste  mouse-selected  text from the primary X selection clipboard, and
91       then overwrite the same clipboard with the returned fpaste URL
92
93              fpaste -io
94
95       To manually paste clipboard contents, run fpaste without file arguments
96       so  that  it  waits  for  input,  then  paste using mouse middle-click,
97       <Ctrl-V>, or other, then press <Enter> followed by <Ctrl-D>  to  finish
98       (EOF).
99
100       To paste the output of more than one program and/or file at a time, use
101       the following example forms:
102
103              (lsusb ; lspci) | fpaste
104              fpaste <(lsusb) <(lspci)
105
106              fpaste <(fdisk -l) /etc/grub.conf
107              (fdisk -l ; cat /etc/grub.conf) | fpaste
108
109              (uname -a ; yum repolist) | fpaste
110
111       Gather and paste various information about the running system. The info
112       collected should be practically anonymous, and you may use the --print‐
113       only or --confirm options to preview what  would  be  sent.  fpaste.org
114       URLs  are also practically anonymous ([a-zA-Z0-9]**4 == 14,776,336 com‐
115       binations), so you may also preview it instead before giving  the  link
116       out.
117
118              fpaste --sysinfo
119              fpaste --sysinfo --confirm
120              fpaste --sysinfo --printonly | less
