NAME

plumb - send message to plumber

SYNOPSIS

plumb [ -p plumbfile ] [ -a attributes ] [ -s source ] [ -d destination ] [ -t type ] [ -w directory ] -i | data...

DESCRIPTION

The plumb command formats and sends a plumbing message whose data is, by default, the concatenation of the argument strings separated by blanks. The options are:

-p

write the message to plumbfile (default /mnt/plumb/send).

-a

set the attr field of the message (default is empty).

-s

set the src field of the message (default is plumb).

-d

set the dst field of the message (default is empty).

-t

set the type field of the message (default is text).

-w

set the wdir field of the message (default is the current working directory of plumb).

-i

take the data from standard input rather than the argument strings. If an action= attribute is not otherwise specified, plumb will add an action=showdata attribute to the message.
