``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 category (``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:

     -p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE

     --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.
