about
A tool to send messages to an XMPP contact or MUC inspired by sendxmpp. You can find other sendxmpp alternatives in the XSF wiki.

binaries
There are some (automatically built and untested) binaries linked to the release.
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:
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:

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
:
