jp (file/receive): display or answer to C.META_TYPE_NOT_IN_ROSTER_LEAK dialog: when a file is proposed by an entity not in roster, the dialog asking for confirmation is displayed. If the bare jid of the sender is explicitely waited (i.e. it's in arguments), then the dialog is automatically confirmed.

=============================
identity: identity management
=============================

Identity use several XMPP extensions (like vcards) to retrieve or set informations about
an entity. For now it's really basic and only nickname and avatar are managed.

get
===

Retrieve informations about the identity behind an XMPP entity. You only have to specify
the jid of the entity, and you'll get (if set) his/her/its nickname and data about the
avatar.

When available, cached values are returned by defaut. If you want to ignore the cache, use
the ``--no-cache`` option (of course this can result in more network requests).

example
--------

Get identity information about an entity::

  $ jp identity get somebody@example.org

set
===

Set identity data to the server, using various XMPP extensions. So far, you can only
change the nickname of an entity using ``-n, --nick`` or or more times

example
-------

Set 2 nicknames for default profile::

  $ jp identity set -n toto -n titi
