Clean up example in README.
`-j` should usually not be necessary if the server is
correctly configured. So this is removed from the example
where it was used.

# go-sendxmpp
## about
A tool to send messages to an XMPP contact or MUC inspired by [sendxmpp](https://sendxmpp.hostname.sk/).
You can find other sendxmpp alternatives in the [XSF wiki](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/User:MDosch/Sendxmpp_incarnations).
## support
You might join the [chat](https://join.jabber.network/#go-sendxmpp@chat.mdosch.de?join) if you have problems,
want to contribute or just want to talk about the project. You might also talk about any of the other
sendxmpp incarnations. :)

## requirements
* [go](https://golang.org/) >= 1.21
## installation
### repositories including go-sendxmpp
[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/go:sendxmpp.svg)](https://repology.org/project/go:sendxmpp/versions)
### manual installation
Latest release:
```plain
$ go install salsa.debian.org/mdosch/go-sendxmpp@latest
```
Current development version:
```plain
$ go install salsa.debian.org/mdosch/go-sendxmpp@master
```
You will find the binary in `$GOPATH/bin` or, if set, `$GOBIN`.
### binaries
There are some (automatically built and untested) binaries linked to the
[release](https://salsa.debian.org/mdosch/go-sendxmpp/-/releases).
## usage
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` if no other configuration file location
is specified with `-f` or `--file`. The configuration file is expected to be in the following format:
```plain
username: <your_jid>
password: <your_jabber_password>
```
If this is not sufficient to connect you might also specify `jserver` and `port`. It is also possible to
use a password manager. In this case the `password` setting should be replaced by the `eval_password`
setting:
```
eval_password: <command_to_unlock_your_password>
```
You can also configure the alias/nickname for MUCs via the `alias` setting:
```
alias: <my_alias>
```
If no configuration file is present or if the values should be overridden it is possible to define
the account details via command line options:

Send a message to two recipients directly defining account credentials.
```bash
cat message.txt | ./go-sendxmpp -u bob@example.com -p swordfish recipient1@example.com recipient2@example.com
```
Send a message to two groupchats (`-c`) using a configuration file.

```
Send file changes to two groupchats (`-c`) using a configuration file.

### shell completion
#### zsh
There are no shell completions yet (contributions welcome) but for zsh it is possible to automatically create completions from `--help` which might work *good enough*.
Just place the following in your `~/.zshrc` or `~/.zshrc.local`:
``` bash
compdef _gnu_generic go-sendxmpp
```
