DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  is  for  passing  events  to  a  running Ibid bot, or executing RPC-exposed
       functions remotely.

       It communicates with the pb source on the Ibid.

       message is a text message as could be sent to the bot by an IM  source.   The  message  is
       processed normally by the bot.

       feature  is  the  name  of  the  feature  to  invoke  exposed  method method on, directly.
       parameters are passed directly to the method.  They can be specified  positionally  or  by
       key,  using  the  same  syntax  as Python: key=value.  They may be encoded in JSON, if not
       valid JSON they will be treated as strings.

       The output is a JSON-encoded response.

       -p FILE, --port=PORT
