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 --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
