pastebinit - command-line pastebin client
pastebinit [-abfhiljmrtup]
This manual page documents briefly the pastebinit commands

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 pastebins website for complete list, example: python)
-h Help screen
-i [filename] Use filename for input
-l List all the supported pastebins
-j [jabberid] (default: none)
-m [permatag] (default: none)
-t [title of paste] (default: none)
-P [private] (default: 1)
-u [username] (default: none)
-p [password] (default: none)
-v Version number
If a .pastebinit.xml file is found in the users home directory, pastebinit will use it for its configuration.
Heres an example file:
<pastebinit> pastebin>https://paste.ubuntu.com</pastebin <author>Stephane Graber</author> <jabberid>stgraber@stgraber.org</jabberid> <format>text</format> </pastebinit>
