+
+``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
+   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
+                           Use PROFILE profile key (default: @DEFAULT@)
+     --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.
+     -n, --new-line        add a new line at the beginning of the input (usefull
+                           for ascii art ;))
+     -S SUBJECT, --subject SUBJECT
+                           subject of the message
+     -L SUBJECT_LANG, --subject_lang SUBJECT_LANG
+                           language of subject
+     -t {chat,error,groupchat,headline,normal,auto}, --type {chat,error,groupchat,headline,normal,auto}
+                           type of the message
+     -e ALGORITHM, --encrypt ALGORITHM
+                           encrypt message using given 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.
