For now, it only sends keyboard events. + +example +------- + +Louise wants to control Pierre's device:: + + $ li remote-control send pierre@example.net + + +receive +======= + +Use ``receive`` to establish a connection with another device and accept incoming control +events. This feature uses the freedesktop.org's Remote Desktop portal, which must be +installed on your system and compatible with your platform. On most Wayland-based desktop +environments, this portal is usually available. + +Immediately upon connecting, Libervia CLI requests permission to initiate the remote +control session, event if not request has been received yet. This ensures that the +connection can be established without requiring manual intervention to authorize access. + +After a connection has been accepted and terminated, the command quits. + +``--verbose, -v`` can be used to show received input events. +If you don't expect to share screen, use ``S {yes,no,auto}, --share-screen {yes,no,auto}`` +with a value of ``no``. + +example +------- + +Louise is expecting Piotr to control her device and wants to automatically accept control from him:: + + $ li remote-control receive louise@example.org
