DESCRIPTION

       paho_cs_pub_static  sends  data  to  an  MQTT  server  using  the  Eclipse  Paho  C client
       synchronous library (MQTTClient).  MQTT is a protocol, operating over TCP/IP, which allows
       programs  to  easily communicate with each other through a server.  Messages are published
       to topics and delivered to any subscribers to those topics.  The corresponding  subscriber
       program paho_cs_sub allows the receipt of MQTT messages.

       The  default mode of operation is to read input from stdin, sending a separate message for
       each line read.  Options exist to change this mode to send a one-off message, of 0  length
       (-n), a given string (-m), or the contents of a file (-f).

OPTIONS

       -t
       --topic
              The MQTT topic to publish the data to.

       -c
       --connection
              The  MQTT  URI to connect to, a combination of transport prefix, host, port and for
              websockets, topic.   To  connect  using  TCP  use  the  tcp  prefix,  for  example:
              tcp://localhost:1883.   An example using SSL/TLS: ssl://localhost:1883.  An example
              for    websockets,     insecure:     ws://localhost:1883/topic,     and     secure:
              wss://localhost:80/topic.

       -h
       --host The  TCP/IP  host  name  of  the  MQTT  server to connect to. Along with the --port
              option, an older alternative to using --connection.

       -p
       --port The TCP/IP port number of the MQTT server to connect  to.  Along  with  the  --host
              option, an older alternative to using --connection.

       -q
       --qos  The MQTT QoS on which to publish the message. The alternatives are 0, 1 or 2.

       -V
       --MQTTversion
              The  version  of  the MQTT protocol to use.  Valid options are 31 (or mqttv31), 311
              (mqttv311) and 5 (or mqttv5).  If MQTT version 5  is  used,  then  some  additional
              options are valid, such as --message-expiry and --user-property.

       --quiet
              Do not print error messages.

       --trace
              Print library internal trace.  Valid levels are min, max, error and protocol.

       -r
       --retained
              Publish messages with the MQTT retained flag set.

       -n
       --null-message
              Publish a 0-length message.

       -m
       --message
              Publish a one off message with the payload supplied.

       -f
       --filename
              Publish a one off message with the contents of the file whose name is given.

       --message-expiry
              [MQTT version 5 only] Sets the expiry interval property of messages in seconds.

       --user-property
              [MQTT  version  5  only] Sets a user property of sent messages.  A pair of strings,
              name and value.

       --will-topic
              Sets the MQTT will message topic to publish to. If  the  application  ends  without
              sending an MQTT disconnect, the will message will be published to this topic.

       --will-payload
              Only used if will-topic is set. Sets the MQTT will message to be published.

       --will-qos
              Only  used  if  will-topic  is  set. Sets the MQTT QoS at which the will message is
              published. The alternatives are 0, 1 or 2.

       --will-retain
              Only used if will-topic is set. Sets the MQTT retained flag on the will message.

       --cafile
              Only used with a TLS connection. The name of a file for the OpenSSL trust store.

       --capath
              Only used with a TLS connection. The name of a directory  holding  OpenSSL  trusted
              certificates.

       --cert Only used with a TLS connection. The name of a file for the TLS keystore containing
              a client certificate to be presented.

       --key  Only used with a TLS connection. The name of a file containing the  client  private
              key.

       --keypass
              Only  used  with a TLS connection. The password for the client private key file, if
              needed.

       --ciphers
              Only used with a TLS connection. A list of  cipher  suites  that  the  client  will
              present to the server during the TLS handshake.

       --insecure
              Only  used  with  a  TLS connection. Don't check that the server certificate common
              name matches the hostname.
