fpaste(1)fpaste(1)NAMEfpaste - A cli frontend for the fpaste.org pastebin
SYNOPSISfpaste [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
It is often useful to be able to easily paste text to the Fedora Paste‐
bin at http://fpaste.org and this simple utility will do that and
return the resulting URL so that people may examine the output. This
can hopefully help folks who are for some reason stuck without X, work‐
ing remotely, or any other reason they may be unable to paste something
into the pastebin using a web browser.

EXAMPLES
Paste file foo.txt at fpaste.org
fpaste foo.txt
Paste output of ifconfig to fpaste.org with description "my network
config"
ifconfig | fpaste-d "my network config"
Paste mycode.py to fpaste.org with description as "problem with foo",
nickname "codemonkey", and language "python"
fpaste-n codemonkey -d "problem with foo" -l python mycode.py
Paste mouse-selected text from the primary X selection clipboard, and
then overwrite the same clipboard with the returned fpaste URL
fpaste-io
To manually paste clipboard contents, run fpaste without file arguments
so that it waits for input, then paste using mouse middle-click,
<Ctrl-V>, or other, then press <Enter> followed by <Ctrl-D> to finish
(EOF).
To paste the output of more than one program and/or file at a time, use
the following example forms:
(lsusb ; lspci) | fpaste
fpaste <(lsusb) <(lspci)
fpaste <(fdisk -l) /etc/grub.conf -d "grub problem"
(fdisk -l ; cat /etc/grub.conf) | fpaste-d "grub problem"
(uname -a ; yum repolist) | fpaste
Gather and paste various information about the running system. The info
collected should be practically anonymous, and you may use the --print‐
only or --confirm options to preview what would be sent. fpaste.org
URLs are also practically anonymous ([a-zA-Z0-9]**4 == 14,776,336 com‐
binations), so you may also preview it instead before giving the link
out.
