purple-remote(1)						   User Commands						  purple-remote(1)

NAME

       purple-remote - Send remote commands to Pidgin/Finch

SYNOPSIS

       purple-remote [-command1] [-command2] [-...]

DESCRIPTION

       Send remote commands to Purple. This program uses DBus to communicate with Pidgin/Finch.

OPTIONS

       Each command is of one of the three types:

       [protocol:]commandname?param1=value1=value2&...	FunctionName?param1=value1=value2&...  FunctionName(value1,value2,...)

       The second and third form are provided for completeness but their use is not recommended; use purple-send or purple-send-async instead. The
       second form uses introspection to find out the parameter names and their types, therefore it is rather slow.

       Here are some examples:

	 jabber:goim?screenname=testone@localhost=hi
	 jabber:gochat?room=TestRoom=conference.localhost
	 jabber:getinfo?screenname=testone@localhost
	 jabber:addbuddy?screenname=my friend

	 setstatus?status=away=don't disturb
	 quit

	 PurpleAccountsFindConnected?name==prpl-jabber
	 PurpleAccountFindConnected(,prpl-jabber)
