 mqtt-simple -h mqtt.example.org -c -s "sensors/#" -s "debug/#" -s "#"

 mqtt-simple --ssl --insecure ...
 mqtt-simple --ssl --ca ca.crt --cert client.crt --key client.key

DESCRIPTION¶

This is just a simple utility program. It doesn't do much. Specifically, all the QoS features are unsupported. Also, don't expect fancy error messages and such :-)

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS¶

-h --host

MQTT server to connect to, required.

-p --publish topic

Publish a message. Uses the message given with "-m", or will read lines from stdin, and publish a message for each given line.

-m --message message

Message to publish. Requires "-p".

-r --retain

Causes messages published with "-p" to have the "retain" flag on.

-s --subscribe filter

Subscribe to the given topic filter. Use the standard MQTT wildcards like "+" and "#". Outputs matching published messages on stdout. Can be given multiple times.

-e --except filter

Suppress published messages that match filter. Can be given multiple times.

--count number

Quit after receiving number messages.

--message-only

Output only the message values, without the topics.

-1 --one

Shortcut for "--count 1 --message-only".

--color

--no-color

For each given "-s", print the matching topic in a different color. Note that the first matching topic will be used for color selection, so specify the topics with the most specific one first, the least specific one (like "#") last.

Color is enabled by default if stdout is a terminal.

--raw

Pass ASCII control characters unaltered. By default, they're replaced by "^@" notation or, when "--color" is enabled, reverse video characters. For example, an ASCII newline would be displayed as "^J" unless "--raw" is used.

-d --datetime format

Prefix messages with a timestamp. Optionally, a format for "strftime" can be supplied.

-u --user --username username

Specify a username. Overrides the environment variable "MQTT_SIMPLE_USERNAME".

--pass --password password

Specify a password. Overrides the environment variable "MQTT_SIMPLE_PASSWORD".
