``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 category (``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
usage: jp message send [-h] [-p PROFILE] [--pwd PASSWORD] [-c] [-l LANG] [-s]
[-n] [-S SUBJECT] [-L SUBJECT_LANG]
[-t {chat,error,groupchat,headline,normal,auto}]
[-e ALGORITHM] [--encrypt-noreplace] [-x | -r]
jid
positional arguments:
jid the destination jid
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE

--pwd PASSWORD Password used to connect profile, if necessary
-c, --connect Connect the profile before doing anything else
-l LANG, --lang LANG language of the message
-s, --separate separate xmpp messages: send one message per line
instead of one message alone.

for ascii art ;))
-S SUBJECT, --subject SUBJECT
subject of the message
-L SUBJECT_LANG, --subject_lang SUBJECT_LANG

-t {chat,error,groupchat,headline,normal,auto}, --type {chat,error,groupchat,headline,normal,auto}
type of the message
-e ALGORITHM, --encrypt ALGORITHM

--encrypt-noreplace don't replace encryption algorithm if an other one is
already used
-x, --xhtml XHTML body
If you want to send a message to, say, ``pierre@example.net``, and encrypt it with OMEMO,
just do the following::
echo "hi, I'm writing with jp" | jp message send -e omemo pierre@example.net
(note that with OMEMO, you need to have previously validated fingerprint of your contact
for this to work).
The different commands are explained in dedicated sections.
