Plumb
sends a message to the plumber,
plumber(8),
which is normally started by
wm(1)'s
start up script.
The options and arguments are used as components of the message.
See
plumbing(6)
for their interpretation.
The options are:
- -s src
- Set the source to
src
(default: unspecified).
- -d dest
- Set the destination to
dest
(default: unspecified).
- -w wdir
- Set the working directory to
wdir
(default: current directory as reported by
pwd(1)
or
workdir(2)).
- -t type
- Set the type of data to
type
(default:
text)
- -a name value
- Include an attribute
`name=value';
there can be more than one.
- -i
- Take the
data
from the standard input not from the argument strings.
If an
action
attribute is not otherwise specified,
plumb
will add an
action=showdata
attribute to the message.
The remaining arguments are sent, separated by spaces, as the
data
of the message.
The plumber
will apply its rules to the resulting message to decide how to route it.
