       amqp-publish          — Publish a message on an AMQP server

SYNOPSIS

       amqp-publish                             OPTION

Description

       Publishes  a  message  to  an  exchange  on  an AMQP server.  Options allow the various properties of the
       message and parameters of the AMQP basic.publish             method to be specified.

       By default, the message body is read from standard  input.   Alternatively,  the  -b  option  allows  the
       message body to be provided as part of the command.

Options

       -e

       --exchange=exchange name
                 The  name  of  the exchange to publish to.  If omitted, the default exchange (also known as the
                 nameless exchange) is used.

       -r

       --routing-key=routing key
                 The routing key to publish with.  If omitted, an empty routing key is assumed.  A  routing  key
                 must  be  specified when publishing to the default exchange; in that case, accoding to the AMQP
                 specification, the routing key corresponds to a queue name.

       -p

       --persistent
                 Use the persistent delivery mode.  Without this option, non-persistent delivery is used.

       -C

       --content-type=MIME type
                 Specifies the content-type property for the message.  If omitted, the content-type property  is
                 not set on the message.

       -E

       --content-encoding=content coding
                 Specifies  the  content-encoding  property  for  the message.  If omitted, the content-encoding
                 property is not set on the message.

       -b

       --body=message body
                 Specifies the message body.  If omitted, the message body is read from standard input.

Examples

       Send a short message, consisting of the word
              ``Hello'' to the queue ``myqueue'' via the default exchange:" 10

       $
       amqp-publish -r myqueue -b Hello

       Send some XML data from a file to the exchange
              ``events'', with persistent delivery mode, setting the content-type property  on  the  message  to
              make the data format explicit:" 10

       $
       amqp-publish -e events -p -C text/xml event.xml
