pastebinit - command-line pastebin client
Contents
Configuration Files
If a ~/.pastebinit.xml file is found in the user's home directory, pastebinit will use it for its
configuration.
Here's an example file:
<pastebinit>
<pastebin>paste.ubuntu.com</pastebin>
<author>Stephane Graber</author>
<format>text</format>
<private>1</private>
<expiry></expiry>
</pastebinit>
Similarly, pastebin configuration files can be put under a ~/.pastebin.d directory to override the
specific options of those.
XDG config and data locations are also supported for these two.

Description
This manual page documents briefly the pastebinit commands.
