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)
