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 re‐
14 turn the resulting URL so that people may examine the output. This can
15 hopefully help folks who are for some reason stuck without a graphical
16 interface, working remotely, or any other reason they may be unable to
17 paste something into the pastebin using a web browser.

93 then overwrite the same clipboard with the returned fpaste URL
94 fpaste -io
96 To manually paste clipboard contents, run fpaste without file arguments
98 so that it waits for input, then paste using mouse middle-click,
99 <Ctrl-V>, or other, then press <Enter> followed by <Ctrl-D> to finish
100 (EOF).
101 To paste the output of more than one program and/or file at a time, use
103 the following example forms:
104 (lsusb ; lspci) | fpaste
106 fpaste <(lsusb) <(lspci)
107 fpaste <(fdisk -l) /etc/grub.conf
109 (fdisk -l ; cat /etc/grub.conf) | fpaste
110 (uname -a ; yum repolist) | fpaste
112 Gather and paste various information about the running system. The info
114 collected should be practically anonymous, and you may use the --print‐
115 only or --confirm options to preview what would be sent. fpaste.org
116 URLs are also practically anonymous ([a-zA-Z0-9]**4 == 14,776,336 com‐
117 binations), so you may also preview it instead before giving the link
118 out.
119 fpaste --sysinfo
121 fpaste --sysinfo --confirm
122 fpaste --sysinfo --printonly | less
