| 1 # clix - Command-line XMPP tool | |
| 2 | |
| 3 ## Description | |
| 4 Clix is a small utility to interact with an XMPP server. It can be | |
| 5 used to send messages, presence, and info queries to any XMPP address. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 ## Example | |
| 8 clix message --to=user@example.com "The kettle has now boiled" | |
| 9 | |
| 10 ## Usage | |
| 11 Syntax: clix COMMAND [OPTIONS] [...] | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Different commands accept different sets of options, but they all | |
| 14 follow some general conventions. The command must be the first | |
| 15 parameter, followed by a series of flags or options. Global options | |
| 16 include: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 --account=default | |
| 19 The account to use from the configuration file (default | |
| 20 is 'default') | |
| 21 | |
| 22 -v | |
| 23 --verbose | |
| 24 Enables verbose logging of the XMPP connection | |
| 25 | |
| 26 When no command is specified, clix will print a list of the names | |
| 27 and descriptions of all built-in commands. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 ## Building and installing | |
| 30 Building clix is (by no accident) quite simple. It depends on Verse, | |
| 31 an XMPP client library for Lua. Verse in turn depends on several | |
| 32 libraries, all dependencies are listed here. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Verse 2.0+: http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/verse | |
| 35 At the time of writing Verse 2.x has not been released yet and | |
| 36 is available only from: http://code.matthewwild.co.uk/verse/ | |
| 37 | |
| 38 LuaExpat: http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat/ | |
| 39 Lua XML parser. Available in Debian as liblua5.1-expat0 | |
| 40 | |
| 41 LuaSocket: http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~diego/professional/luasocket/ | |
| 42 Lua networking library. Available in Debian as liblua5.1-socket2 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 Clix can be run directly from source if the above dependencies are | |
| 45 installed. To make life easier it can be installed to standard directories, | |
| 46 on most systems this means to copy clix.lua to /usr/bin/clix and the clix | |
| 47 directory to /usr/lib/lua/5.1/clix (on some non-Debian systems the 5.1 | |
| 48 directory isn't needed). | |
| 49 | |
| 50 Alternatively you can use Squish to compress all Clix's files into a single | |
| 51 executable. If you have Squish installed then simply type 'squish' in | |
| 52 clix's source directory to generate the compacted 'clix.bin' file. Squish | |
| 53 can be found at http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/squish . | |
