$ curl https://ptpb.pw/iUCF
+ uname -s
Linux

is there an example that doesn't involve shell-quoting?

Sure..

$ bash -x << EOF |& curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/
uname -s
EOF

and the example doesn't work with bash3

ancient/obscure shells are not really interesting, but:

$ bash -xc "uname -s" 2>&1 | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/

from pb.

Not sure if I understand.

you mean like this?:

$ uname -s | tee >(curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw)
Linux

@buhman he wants first line of paste to be command he executed on pipe. i don't think there's good way to do that without extra script.

from pb.

Thanks @buhman , something like that was what I was referring to, similar to what it does: wgetpaste -c

from pb.

the example should be added to docs as well: https://ptpb.pw/

and the example doesn't work with bash3

➔ bash -xc "uname -s" |& curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw/
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'

➔ echo $BASH_VERSION
3.2.57(1)-release

from pb.

latest macOS /bin/bash is 3.2.57, so it's not that uncommon and the system itself is not ancient.

not sure why they don't update newer, perhaps GPL v2 -> GPL v3 change in bash license not compatible for re-distribution inside the OS?

from pb.

yep, it's a licensing issue, so system bash 3.2 will stay there: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/197172
