havesnippet
either reads from stdin or from file
, if it is provided as an
argument. It then uploads it using HaveSnippet's API and prints the URL of the
created snippet.
Server address must be provided by the -s
switch every time, unless a config
file is created using the --save
switch, e.g.:
$ havesnippet -s https://paste.vpsfree.cz --save
$ echo yo! | havesnippet
https://paste.vpsfree.cz/12345678
Switch --save
saves all command line options to the config file, so you might
set a default language, title, access mode or expiration.
Options loaded from the config file can be overriden by command line options.
