NAME

       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,
           according 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.

       -H, --header=header
           Specifies an optional header in the form "key: value".

EXAMPLES

       Send a short message, consisting of the word “Hello” to the queue “myqueue” via the
       default exchange:

               $ 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:

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