PURPLE-REMOTE(1)                                              PURPLE-REMOTE(1)



NAME
       purple-remote - Send remote commands to Pidgin/Finch

SYNOPSIS
       purple-remote command1 command2 ...

OPTIONS
       Each command is of one of the three types:

       [protocol:]commandname?param1=value1¶m2=value2&...
       FunctionName?param1=value1¶m2=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.


EXAMPLES
       jabber:goim?screenname=testone@localhost&message=hi
       jabber:gochat?room=TestRoom&server=conference.localhost
       jabber:getinfo?screenname=testone@localhost
       jabber:addbuddy?screenname=my friend

       setstatus?status=away&message=don't disturb
       quit
