.SH NAME
pbput - compress and encode arbitrary files to pastebin.com
pbputs - compress, encrypt, encode arbitrary files to pastebin.com
pbget - decode and decompress arbitrary files from pastebin.com
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpbput\fP [FILENAME]
cat foo | \fBpbput\fP
\fBpbputs\fP [FILENAME] [GPG_USER]
cat foo | \fBpbputs [GPG_USER]\fP
\fBpbget\fP URL [DIRECTORY]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBpbput\fP is a program that can upload text files, binary files or entire directory structures to a pastebin, such as pastebin.com.
\fBpbget\fP is a program that be used to retrieve content uploaded to a pastebin by \fBpbput\fP.
\fBpbputs\fP operates exactly like \fBpbput\fP, except it encrypts the data. An optional GPG_USER argument is allowed, which will sign and encrypt the data to the target user in one's keyring (which could be oneself!). Otherwise, the user is prompted for a symmetric passphrase for encrypting the content with \fBgpg\fP(1) before uploading. \fBpbget\fP will automatically prompt the receiving user for the pre-shared passphrase.
\fBpbput\fP and \fBpbputs\fP can take its input either on STDIN, or as a FILENAME argument.
- If STDIN is used, then the receiving user's \fBpbget\fP will simply paste the input on STDOUT.
- If a FILENAME or DIRECTORY is passed as an argument, then it is first archived using \fBtar\fP(1) to preserve the file and directory attributes
\fBpbget\fP takes a URL as its first, mandatory argument. Optionally, it takes a DIRECTORY as a second parameter. If the incoming data is in fact a file or file structure in a \fBtar\fP(1) archive, then that data will be extracted in the specified DIRECTORY. If no DIRECTORY is specified, then a temporary directory is created using \fBmktemp\fP(1).
In any case the uploaded/downloaded data is optionally \fBtar\fP(1) archived, always \fBlzma\fP(1) compressed, optionally \fBgpg\fP(1) encrypted, and always \fBbase64\fP(1) encoded. \fIhttp://pastebin.com\fP is used by default.
