go-sendxmpp - A little tool to send messages to an XMPP contact or MUC.
go-sendxmpp [-cdintx] [-f value] [--help] [-j value] [-m value] [-p value] [-r value] [-u value] [parameters ...]
A little tool to send messages to an XMPP contact or MUC inspired by (but not as powerful as) sendxmpp.
You can either pipe a programs output to go-sendxmpp, write in your terminal (put ^D in a new line to
finish) or send the input from a file (-m or --message).
The account data is expected at ~/.config/go-sendxmpp/config (preferred), ~/.config/go-sendxmpp/sendxmpprc
(deprecated) ~/.sendxmpprc (for compatibility with the original perl sendxmpp) if no other configuration
file location is specified with -f or --file.
-a, --alias=[value]:
Set alias/nicknamefor chatrooms.
-c, --chatroom=[value]:
Send message to a chatroom.
-d, --debug:
Show debugging info.
-f, --file=[value]:
Set configuration file. (Default: ~/.config/go-sendxmpp/config)
--help:
Show help.
--http-upload=[value]:
Send a file via http-upload.
-i, --interactive:
Interactive mode (for use with e.g. tail -f).
-j, --jserver=[value]:
XMPP server address.
-l, --listen:
Listen for messages and print them to stdout. If JIDs are specified only messages from those contacts
are shown. If no JIDs are specified all received messages will be shown.
-m, --message=[value]:
Set file including the message.
--muc-password=[value]:
Password for password protected MUCs.
-n, --no-tls-verify:
Skip verification of TLS certificates (not recommended).
--ox:
Use "OpenPGP for XMPP" encryption (experimental).
Ox in go-sendxmpp only supports sending encrypted 1-1 messages. Sending to groupchats and
sending encrypted files is not supported.
There is no check whether the recipients key is trusted as there is no local keyring used.
Go-sendxmpp just uses the most recent key that is provided via pubsub and checks that it is not
expired. As a user facing client a notification would be shown that a new key is available and
ask the user whether to use the new key or stick to the old one. As go-sendxmpp is usually
used in scripts it just accepts the new key to prevent the user from missing a new notification
due to changed keys.
--ox-delete-nodes:
Delete existing OpenPGP nodes on the server.
--ox-genprivkey-rsa:
Generate a private OpenPGP key (RSA 4096 bit) for the configured account (via config file or -u and -p)
and publish the corresponding public key.
Go-sendxmpp will save the key in $XDG_DATA_HOME/go-sendxmpp/oxprivkeys or
$HOME/.local/share/go-sendxmpp/oxprivkeys. To protect the key a passphrase might be set
using --ox-passphrase while generating the key.
If there is an existing private key for "OpenPGP for XMPP" created by another client (e.g. profanity)
it might be imported using --ox-import-privkey.
--ox-genprivkey-x25519:
Generate a private OpenPGP key (X25519) for the configured account (via config file or -u and -p)
and publish the corresponding public key.
Go-sendxmpp will save the key in $XDG_DATA_HOME/go-sendxmpp/oxprivkeys or
$HOME/.local/share/go-sendxmpp/oxprivkeys. To protect the key a passphrase might be set
using --ox-passphrase while generating the key.
If there is an existing private key for "OpenPGP for XMPP" created by another client (e.g. profanity)
it might be imported using --ox-import-privkey.
--ox-import-privkey=[value]:
Import an existing private OpenPGP key.
--ox-passphrase=[value]:
Passphrase for locking and unlocking the private OpenPGP key.
--tls-version=[value]:
Minimal TLS version. 10 (TLSv1.0), 11 (TLSv1.1), 12 (TLSv1.2), 13 (TLSv1.3) (Default: 12)
-p, --password=[value]:
Password for XMPP account.
--raw:
Send raw XML. To send raw XML to a contact as normal chat message no contact must be specified.
To send raw XML to a MUC you have to specify the MUC via -c and go-sendxmpp will join the MUC.
-r, --resource=[value]:
DEPRECATED: Set resource. When sending to a chatroom this is used as 'alias'.
--timeout=[value]:
Connection timeout in seconds. (Default: 10)
-t, --tls:
Use direct TLS.
-u, --username=[value]:
Username for XMPP account (JID).
--version: Show version information.
