installation: moved from `setup.py` to `pyproject.toml`: - updated installation to use the now standard `pyproject.toml` instead of legacy `setup.py`. `setup.py` and other legacy files have been deleted. - removed outdated README4PACKAGERS - removed pylintrc which has not been correctly reviewed. Linter conf should go to `pyproject.toml` now. - [hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io) is now used as main building tool. However, thanks to the use of standards, other tools can be used too. - update .hgignore - several dependencies version bump, with code update to adapt to changes.

==================================================
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
