pbincli send -t "Hello! This is test paste!"
```
* Use stdin input to read text for paste:
```bash
pbincli send - <<EOF
Hello! This is test paste!
EOF
```
It will send string `Hello! This is test paste!` to PrivateBin.
To send file use `--file` or `-f` with filename. Example:
* Sending file with text in paste:
```bash
pbincli send -c "My document" -f info.pdf
pbincli send -f info.pdf -t "I'm sending my document."
```
* Sending only file without any text:
```bash
pbincli send -q -f info.pdf
```

```bash
pbincli get 49eeb1326cfa9491#vfeortoVWaYeJlviDdhxQBtj5e0I2kArpynrtu/tnGs=
```
More info you can find by typing
```bash

pbincli get xxx#yyy ### receive paste xxx from https://paste.i2pd.xyz/ by default

Write a more complete usage documentation.
