jp

jp is the CLI (Command Line Interface) frontend of Salut à Toi

Overview

jp is a powerful tool to work with Salut à Toi/XMPP. With it you can send chat messages, share files, retrieve avatars, write blog entries, etc.

Usage

To get help on commands or their options, use:

$ jp --help

which can be used on any command, so if you need help on message send command, just do:

$ jp message send --help

With jp, you always enter commands first, then options and arguments.

There are several levels of commands: first one is the main categorie (message, blog, avatar, etc.), then there are often subcommands (e.g. message send).

After the commands come the options. For instance if you want to send a message, you can get the available options with --help as explained above:

$ jp message send --help
