NAME

       amqp-publish - Publish a message on an AMQP server

SYNOPSIS

       amqp-publish [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       Publishes a message to an exchange on an AMQP server. Options allow the various properties of the message and parameters of the AMQP
       basic.publish method to be specified.

       By default, the message body is read from standard input. Alternatively, the -b option allows the message body to be provided as part of
       the command.

OPTIONS

       -e, --exchange=exchange name
	   The name of the exchange to publish to. If omitted, the default exchange (also known as the nameless exchange) is used.

       -r, --routing-key=routing key
	   The routing key to publish with. If omitted, an empty routing key is assumed. A routing key must be specified when publishing to the
	   default exchange; in that case, accoding to the AMQP specification, the routing key corresponds to a queue name.

       -p, --persistent
	   Use the persistent delivery mode. Without this option, non-persistent delivery is used.

       -C, --content-type=MIME type
	   Specifies the content-type property for the message. If omitted, the content-type property is not set on the message.

       -E, --content-encoding=content coding
	   Specifies the content-encoding property for the message. If omitted, the content-encoding property is not set on the message.

       -b, --body=message body
	   Specifies the message body. If omitted, the message body is read from standard input.

EXAMPLES

       Send a short message, consisting of the word "Hello" to the queue "myqueue" via the default exchange:

	       $ amqp-publish -r myqueue -b Hello

       Send some XML data from a file to the exchange "events", with persistent delivery mode, setting the content-type property on the message to
       make the data format explicit:

	       $ amqp-publish -e events -p -C text/xml <event.xml
