DESCRIPTION

Publish a value quickly

OPTIONS

-r, --retain

Publish the MQTT message retained

-v, --verbose

Show full MQTT communication

-b, --broker=URL [default: mqtt://localhost]

URL which represents how to connect to the MQTT broker.

Examples: `mqtt://localhost` `mqtt://localhost:1883` `mqtts://localhost` `mqtts://localhost:8883` `ws://localhost/path` `ws://localhost:9001/path` `wss://localhost/path` `wss://localhost:9001/path`

-u, --username=STRING

Username to access the mqtt broker.

Anonymous access when not supplied.

--password=STRING

Password to access the mqtt broker.

Consider using a connection with TLS to the broker. Otherwise the password will be transported in plaintext.

Passing the password via command line is insecure as the password can be read from the history! You should pass it via environment variable.

-i, --client-id=STRING

Specify the client id to connect with

--client-cert=FILEPATH

Path to the TLS client certificate file.

Used together with --client-key to enable TLS client authentication. The file has to be a DER-encoded X.509 certificate serialized to PEM.

--client-key=FILEPATH

Path to the TLS client private key.

Used together with --client-cert to enable TLS client authentication. The file has to be a DER-encoded ASN.1 file in PKCS#8 form serialized to PEM.

--insecure

Allow insecure TLS connections

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

<TOPIC>

Topic to publish to

[PAYLOAD]

Payload to be published.

Reads from stdin when not specified. This allows file content to be sent via pipes like this (bash):

`cowsay "I was here" | mqttui publish some/topic`
