plugin XEP-0077, XEP-0100: Adapt to component, and modernize: - Plugin XEP-0077 can now be used with component, allowing to register methods to return registration form, and to (un)register. - Plugin XEP-0077 now advertises its feature in disco. - Plugin XEP-0100 has been modernized a bit: it is one of the older plugin in Libervia, and it has now some type hints, models and async methods. - Plugin XEP-0100's bridge method `gateways_find` now returns a serialised dict with relevant data. Former XMLUI version has been moved to `gateways_find_xmlui`. rel 449

==================================================
pipe: send/receive data stream through shell pipes
==================================================

``pipe`` commands allow you to send or receive data stream through a Unix shell pipe.
Libervia will create a network connection (using XMPP and Jingle) between you an your
contact.

in
==

Receive data stream. Data will be send to stdout, so it can be piped out or simply print
to the screen. You can specify bare jids of entities to accept stream for, by default all
streams are accepted.

example
-------

Receive a video stream, and redirect it to mpv_ so show the video::

  $ li pipe in | mpv -

.. _mpv: https://mpv.io/

out
===

Send data stream. Data comes from stdin, so you may use pipe in something or just write
some text.

The only expected argument is the full jid of the device where the stream must be piped
out.

example
-------

Send a video to louise::

 $ li pipe out louise@example.org/libervia.123 < some_video.webm

Send output from ``cal`` command to louise::

 $ cal | li pipe out louise@example.org/libervia.123
