mc-tool's
usage depends on its first argument (the "command")
SPECIFYING ACCOUNTS
Where an account name is needed, it may be given as a full object path
(e.g.
/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/gabble/jabber/example),
or as the unique account-specific suffix (e.g.
gabble/jabber/example).
SPECIFYING PARAMETER SETTINGS
Many commands take arguments that represent Telepathy connection manager
parameters (see the Telepathy Specification for details of these). Each
argument has the following form:
TYPE:NAME=VALUE
where
TYPE
is either
int, uint, bool, or
string
(other parameter types exist, but are currently unsupported by
mc-tool),
NAME
is the name of the connection manager parameter (e.g.
account or password),
and
VALUE
is the parameter's value (with integers in decimal, and booleans as
0 or 1).
The
update
command also accepts arguments of the form
clear:NAME
which delete the named parameter from the account configuration.
LIST
mc-tool list
lists the available accounts.
ADD
mc-tool add
adds an account. The connection manager and protocol can either be given
as the name of a Mission Control
profile,
(e.g.
gtalk),
or as a slash-separated connection manager name and protocol (e.g.
gabble/jabber).
