💖 PRIVATEBIN-SHOW(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading the Privatebin Manual page for privatebin-show and honestly? it's giving "tiny command, big secrets." ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

privatebin-show — show a paste 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

privatebin show [-h | --help] [--confirm-burn] [--insecure]
                [--password] <url>

like, that's the whole vibe. one subcommand, a handful of flags, one <url>. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Show paste.

...and that's literally it, bestie. it shows the paste. no cap, the manpage really said "show paste" and dipped. iconic minimalism honestly 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -h, --help — show the help message. the "bestie what do i do" button. press it, it's free 🌸
  • --confirm-burn — confirm paste opening. and here's the spicy part: the paste will be deleted immediately afterwards. like, immediately immediately. so if you were gonna copy it somewhere, do it now. 🔥😭
  • --insecure — allow reading the paste from an untrusted instance. it's literally called insecure, so, y'know, vibe check accordingly 🙈
  • --password — the paste password, for when the paste has a password. the "let me in, i know the secret word" flag 🔑✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

show a paste on the default privatebin instance:

$ privatebin show https://example.com/foobar#mk

one line, one paste, main character energy. periodt. 💅

privatebin.conf(5) — go read it if you wanna know how the config situation works, iykyk 🧚

lowkey reminder: --confirm-burn is not a drill. the paste gets deleted right after. treat that flag with the respect it deserves 💀

and that's the whole page bestie — Privatebin Manual, version 2.2.1, dated Feb 15, 2026. mwah, take care of your pastes 🎀💖
