NAME

climm - interactive commands

DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes the commands that can be used within climm. This page holds the same information as the online help, but more precise and longer. Notations: square brackets ([]) denote optional arguments, while angle brackets (<>) denote arguments (in opposite to keywords). Specifically, <uin> denotes an arbitrary UIN, while <contacts> denotes a comma separated list of contacts, that is, of UINs and nick names. If it is the last argument, the contacts may also be separated by spaces.

COMMANDS CONCERNING MESSAGE SENDING

msg <contacts> [<message>]: Send a message to all contacts. Without message, or with message ending in a backslash (\), multi-line message mode is enabled. To send the multi-line message, put a period (.) on a line of its own. To cancel the message, put a hash sign (#) on a line of its own.
Outgoing and incoming messages are marked differently depending of the transport used. ««« and »»» mark messages sent via a direct connection. «%« and »%» mark messages sent via a direct connection that were encrypted (requires GnuTLS or OpenSSL enabled at compile time). «<< and >>» mark icq8 (also called type-2) messages. Lastly, <<< and >>> mark icq5 messages, which can be so called type-1, type-4 or offline message. These kind of messages are not acknowledged.
A message is first tried to be sent via a pre-existing direct connection; if none is established, one is initiated in the background for further messages. If no direct connection is open, or if the message is not acknowledged after some time, the connection will be failed and the next transport tried: sending as type-2 message. This step will be skipped if the peer does not set the required capabilities to signal its ability to receive them. If this is skipped, times out or returns an error, e.g. the peer has gone offline in the time between, the message is sent as an ordinary type-4 message.
If the peer signals its ability to accept them, messages are sent UTF-8 encoded and appropriately tagged. Otherwise, the message is sent encoded in the peer´s configured encoding, or, if unset, the default assumed remote encoding. type-1, type-4 and offline messages can not be tagged with their encoding, so successful transmission of non-USASCII-characters relies on correct configuration and heuristics.
a [<message>]: Send a message to the last person you sent a message to. Auto-expanding alias for msg %a.
r [<message>]: Reply to last message received. Auto-expanding alias for msg %r.
url <contacts> <url> <message>: Send a message regarding an url to all contacts.
sms [<nick>] [<cell>] <message>: Send an SMS message message to cell phone number cell, which looks like +<country code><number>, or to the cell phone number of nick, which will be set to cell if unset. You may not specify cell if nick already has a cell phone number given. Invalid cell phone numbers will be removed from the nick´s meta data.
chat <contacts> [<message>]: Sends a message message to contacts contacts just as the msg command. After the message is sent (or cancelled), multi-line mode is entered and messages sent until an empty message is cancelled. Cancelling a non-empty message will only cancel the message itself, and more messages in multi-line mode can be sent.
getauto [auto|away|na|dnd|occ|ffc] [<contacts>]: Requests auto message from contacts for given status, where away is for away, na for not available, dnd for do not disturb, occ for occupied and ffc for free for chat. If auto or nothing is given, the auto message for the contacts is fetched for their respective status. Contacts not in any of those status will be skipped. New for 0.4.10.
auth [req|grant|deny|unsub|add] <contacts> [<msg>]: Grant or deny all contacts to add you to their list, request from all contacts to allow you to add them to your contact list, unsubscribe from contacts status notifications (XMPP, not ICQ), or tell contacts that you added them to your contact list (ICQ, not XMPP). For ICQ, an optional message may accompany some requests. New subcommand unsub for 0.7.1.
resend <contacts>: Resend the last message to more contacts.
last [<contacts>]: Show the last message received from contact, or from everyone who already sent a message.
h <contact> [<last> [<count>]]
history <contact> [<last> [<count>]]: Show messages from <contact> from the log files. Start at the last latest message, or the -last message if last is negative, defaulting to the 20ieth last message, and display count messages, defaulting to 20 if not given.
historyd <contact|*> <date> [<count>]: Show messages from <contact> or all contacts (for *) from the log files. Start at date date, which must be given in ISO 8601 format, either YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS, and display count messages, defaulting to 20 if not given.
find <contact> <pattern>: Search the pattern pattern case-insensitive in the log file for contact.
finds <contact> <pattern>: Search the pattern pattern case-sensitive in the log file for contact.
tabs: Shows of a list of users you can tab through.

When resolving options for contacts, the option for the contact itself will be used, if set; otherwise, if the contact belongs to a group, the option for that group, if set; otherwise, if the contact belongs to a server connection (i.e. is not yet removed), the option for the server connection; otherwise the global option, if set. Otherwise, 0 for integer options, FALSE for boolean options, the color string for "no color" unless this color string is requested, or the empty string for string options.
When resolving options for contact groups, the same is done except for the first step; options for connections are taken from the connection, then globally; and global options, of course, only globally.

colorscheme integer global: The number of the color scheme to use. Set to 0 to disable and use the colors defined below.
colornone color global: The color string to use for normal text. The keywords black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, none, and bold are understood and replaced by their ANSI control sequences.

default [<list>]: Make <list> the default privacy list, that is, the privacy list valid at start of each client's session or when no client is actually connected. If no <list> is given, disable default list, in other words: use the server's default privacy handling at session start or when no client is actually connected.
show <list>: Show the given privacy list, for each item in it print out the order, the action (allow or deny), the affected part (all, or a comma separated list of msg (messages), pin (inbound presense notification, does not include subscription requests), pout (outbound presense notifications), or iq (queries)), the type (jid, group, or subscription), and the matched value. If type is jid, the value is an XMPP id; it may be with or without resource, and with or without user. If type is subscription, the value will be one of both, from, to, or none (which also includes unknown contacts).
Each inbound or outbound stanza is matched by the server against each item, in the order given by the order attribute, and the action attribute of the first match determines whether the stanza is completely discarded or actually forwarded.
set <list> (<action> [<part> ]<type> <value)...: Replace (or create) the privacy list <list>, with each of the listed items in ascending order. The parameters are as in the show command above. If <part> is not given, all is assumed.
edit <list> <index> (<action> [<part>] <type> <value>)... [delete <skip>]: Edit (or create) the privacy list <list>, inserting the given listed items in ascending order directly before the item with the <order> being equal to <index>. Delete items up to (excluding) <order> of <index>+<skip>. If no <skip> is given or if it is zero, none will be deleted. Items with <order> being equal or greater than <index>+<skip> will be renumbered (to make room for the new items and to avoid discontinuency in the numbers).

peek [<contacts>] [all] [<contacts>]: Check for each contact whether it is actually online or not. The special keyword all will check upon all contacts with the peekme option effectively set.
Note: This abuses a bug in the ICQ protocol to figure this out and thus can stop working at any time. No additional information except online or offline can be found out this way.
peek2 <contacts>: Builtin alias for getauto away contacts. Can be used to detect presence of users of some clients, but this itself can be detected by the other user's client. climm since 0.5 will not be detected by this, but will detect tries from other clients.
peekall [<contacts>]: Builtin alias for peek <contacts> all.
as <nr|uin> <cmd>: Execute climm command cmd as if the connection number nr or for the UIN uin would be the current one.

COMMANDS FOR SCRIPTING

tclscript <file>: Execute the tcl script file, which may be given relative to the climm base directory.
tcl <string>: Execute the tcl command string. Type tcl climm help to get a list of climm-specific tcl commands.
