NAME
fpaste - A cli frontend for the fpaste.org pastebin
SYNOPSIS
fpaste [
OPTION]... [
FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
It is often useful to be able to easily paste text to the Fedora Pastebin 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 a graphical interface, working 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
- Paste mycode.py to fpaste.org with description as "problem with foo" and language "python"
-
-
fpaste -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
(fdisk -l ; cat /etc/grub.conf) | fpaste
(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 --printonly or --confirm options to preview what would be sent. fpaste.org URLs are also practically anonymous ([a-zA-Z0-9]**4 == 14,776,336 combinations), so you may also preview it instead before giving the link out.

fpaste --sysinfo
fpaste --sysinfo --confirm
fpaste --sysinfo --printonly | less
