NAME

grml-paste - command line interface for pastebins

SYNOPSIS

grml-paste [options] ACTION <args>

DESCRIPTION

grml-paste is a command line interface for uploading plain text to https://paste.debian.net/

OPTIONS

-e hours, --expire=HOURS

Time at which paste should expire.

-h, --help

Print help text.

-l lang, --lang=LANG

Type of language to highlight.

-n name, --name=NAME

Set your nickname (defaults to login username).

-s server, --server=SERVER

Set URL of paste server (defaults to paste.debian.net).

-t token, --token=TOKEN

Use an API token for authentication. Users can create tokens on https://paste.debian.net/ by authenticating against salsa.debian.org. After logging in, you can manage your tokens at https://paste.debian.net/tokens. Using a token allows you to circumvent most of the service’s strict spam checks (e.g., line break limits) and benefit from relaxed rate limits, which is especially useful for automated scripts or large pastes.

-v, --verbose

More verbose output.

ACTIONS

add

Add paste to the server: <1.line> <2.line> ...

del <id>

Delete paste from server.

get <id>

Get paste from server.

getlangs

Get supported language highlighting types from server.

help <action>

Print more verbose help about specified <action>.

USAGE EXAMPLES

dmesg | tail | grml-paste add --name=grmluser

Upload last ten lines of dmesg output as user grmluser.

cat /var/log/syslog | grml-paste add --token=YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN

Upload syslog using an authentication token to bypass spam filters and size limits.
