Pidgin instant messaging client: a video tour

10-03-2008 01:00 PM
Pidgin, formerly known as Gaim, is a popular Instant Messaging (IM) client for Linux. It works with 16 different IM services, including AIM, Yahoo, MSN, and Google, and can handle simultaneous connections to as many of them as you like. This 10-minute video is a brief introduction to Pidgin that shows how easy it is to install, in this case on OpenSUSE 11, how easy it is to set Pidgin up to use an existing IM account, and how to find and join an IRC channel with Pidgin.

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)
