Include more verbose output. Without this option the script only outputs errors and received messages one per line in the form:

  topic message

With one -verbose options, publish messages are printed in a form of a summary of the header fields and the payload in hex dump and text form.

With two -verbose options, summaries are printed for all messages sent and received.

With three -verbose options, a hex dump of all data transmitted and received is printed.

-keepalive NNN

The keep alive timer value. Defaults to 120 seconds. For simplicity, it is also currently used as the connection/subscription timeout.

-count NNN

Read the specificed number of MQTT messages and then exit. Default is 0 - read forever.

-one or -1

Short for -count 1. Read one message and exit.

This is not official IBM code. I work for IBM but I'm writing this in my spare time (with permission) for fun.
