PLUMB(1) PLUMB(1)
NAME
plumb - send message to plumber
SYNOPSIS
plumb [ -s src ] [ -d dest ] [ -w wdir ] [ -t type ] [ -a
name value ] [ -i ] data ...
DESCRIPTION
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 mes-
sage. 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 other-
wise 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.
