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, 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
