+avatar: retrieve/upload avatars
+===============================
+
+Avatars are images associated to an XMPP entity. Several XMPP extensions are in use, SàT
+tries to hide the technical details so avatar are as easy as possible to manipulate for
+end-user.
+
+get
+===
+
+Retrieve the avatar of the given entity. Entity jid is specified as positional argument.
+
+If an avatar is found, a path to its cached file is printed. Please note that this is the
+cache used by all SàT ecosystem, **do not modify the cached image**. You may use it for
+read-only access, or copy it if you want to modify the image.
+
+You may use the ``-s, --show`` argument to display the found avatar. The software used to
+display the image can be specified in SàT configuration (cf. :ref:`configuration`), in the
+``[jp]`` section: the ``image_cmd`` setting let you specify the path to the software. If
+``image_cmd`` is not used, ``jp`` will try some common software, and if none is found, it
+will try to open the image in a browser (which may sometimes result in using the default
+image software of the platform).
+
+example
+-------
+
+Get the avatar of ``louise@example.org`` and display it::
+
+  $ jp avatar get --show louise@example.org
+
+
+set
+===
+
+Upload and set the given avatar for the profile. The only required argument is the path to
+the image to use as avatar.
+
+example
+-------
+
+Set the avatar of the default profile::
+
+  $ jp avatar set ~/photos/some_photo.jpg
