By default, files will be uploaded as-is and a link to the file will be printed to stdout after each upload. .Pp Before terminating, .Nm will try to copy all links into the X clipboard if .Xr xclip 1 is installed. Folders will be packed into a tarball with .Xr tar 1 and the resulting .Pa upload.tar file will be uploaded. If no arguments are given, data will be read from stdin into a temporary file that will be uploaded as soon as EOF is received.. If the file being uploaded is bigger than 10MB .Nm will query the server for the maximum upload size and abort the upload if the file would be rejected. .Pp Following options are supported: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl d Delete the IDs. You can no longer upload files in this mode. If the argument is a URL, .Nm will try to extract the ID. .It Fl g Download the IDs and output on stdout. Please take care when using this, as binary data may cause unexpected results when being output directly to a terminal. You can no longer upload files in this mode. If the argument is a URL, .Nm will try to extract the ID. .It Fl h Display a short help message. .It Fl v Display the client version. .It Fl e Ar extension Change the extension used for highlighting. You can also do this if you have already uploaded the file by appending the extension to the URL. http://paste.xinu.at//bash will change the syntax highlighting to bash. .It Fl t Upload a tar file containing all files and directories specified on the command line. .It Fl c Compress the files to be uploaded using .Xr gzip 1 . This affects all files including piped content and folders. If specified twice, .Xr xz 1 will be used rather than gzip. .El .Pp If you want to be able to delete files, you have to add the following lines to .Pa ~/.netrc : .Pp .Bd -literal -offset indent machine paste.xinu.at password .Ed .Sh ENVIRONMENT Some options can be changed by modifying environment variables: .Bl -tag -width XZ_OPTS .It Ev GZIP Assigning GZIP will make the gzip-program treat it's value as if they had been appended to the command line. .It Ev XZ_OPTS The XZ_OPTS environment variable can be used in order to pass additional options to xz, in case xz is used for compression. .It TMPDIR Setting TMPDIR to some directory where .Nm create temporary files inside this directory rather than /tmp, if the underlying mktemp program supports it. .Sh EXAMPLES .Bl -tag .It Nm Fl tc Ar folder file This will create a .tar archive containing the folder and the file and compress it using gzip and upload one archive. .It Nm Fl c Ar folder file This will create a .tar archive containing only the folder. Both (folder and file) will be compressed using gzip and uploaded independently. .It Nm Fl cc Ar folder This will create a .tar archive containing only the folder and compress it using xz. .It Ic make \&|\&& Nm This will upload the output of make (stdout and stderr) in csh and similar shells. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr curl 1 , .Xr gzip 1 , .Xr mktemp 1 , .Xr tar 1 , .Xr xz 1 , .Xr xclip 1 .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit .Nm was written by .Bl -bullet -compact .It .\" mdoc has clever spam protection ;) .An Florian Pritz Aq fl\&o@xssn.at .It .An Moritz Wilhelmy Aq mor\&itz@wzff.de .El and may be copied under the terms of the WTFPL. .Sh BUGS curl has a nasty comma expansion bug. When filenames containing a comma are being uploaded, The main branch tries to address this problem by providing a binary helper that links against libcurl in order to work around this bug. The legacy branch, from which this version of fb was obtained is supposed to remain a plain shell-script client, focusing on fixing all fixable bugs (i.e. not the curl one) and making it work on all POSIX platforms by removing code that only works with GNU bash.
