tests: end-2-end tests first draft: - e2e tests are launched inside the new docker e2e test environment - `run_e2e.py` launch the docker container, mount the current code base in it, launch the e2e tests and print report in real time - `conftest.py` are pytest fixtures managing many things such as account creation, fake files management, JSON or Domish.Element parsing, fake editor, etc. - `test_jp.py` are end-to-end test done with `jp`. `sh` library is used to make tests writting as user-friendly as possible. The `SAT_TEST_ENV_E2E` environment variable is checked, and tests will be skipped if it's not set.

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

``pipe`` commands allow you to send or receive data stream through a Unix shell pipe.
Salut à Toi 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::

  $ jp 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::

 $ jp pipe out louise@example.org/sat < some_video.webm

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

 $ cal | jp pipe out louise@example.org/sat
