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.
