# 20200424 bkw: This used to be a one-line script:
# cat "${1:--}" | nc termbin.com 9999
# ...but I really wanted the "copy link to X clipboard" feature.

if [ "$1" = "--help" ]; then
	cat <<EOF
Usage: $( basename $0 ) <filename>

Uses nc (NetCat) to paste stdin to termbin.com, or pastes a file if
<filename> is given. Spits out paste URL on stdout. Also copies URL to
the X clipboard if X is running and either xsel or xclip is installed.

do WTF you want with this.
