OPTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION

       Options:
               -h --help : print this help
               --consumer-key : the twitter consumer key
               --consumer-secret : the twitter consumer secret
               --access-key : the twitter access token key
               --access-secret : the twitter access token secret
               --encoding  :  the  character  set  encoding  used in input strings, e.g. "utf-8".
              [optional]

       Documentation:

              If either of the command line flags are  not  present,  the  environment  variables
              TWEETUSERNAME  and  TWEETPASSWORD  will  then  be  checked for your consumer_key or
              consumer_secret, respectively.

              If neither the command line flags nor the environment variables  are  present,  the
              .tweetrc  file,  if  it  exists,  can  be  used to set the default consumer_key and
              consumer_secret.  The file should contain  the  following  three  lines,  replacing
              *consumer_key*  with  your  consumer  key, and *consumer_secret* with your consumer
              secret:

              A skeletal .tweetrc file:

               [Tweet]
               consumer_key: *consumer_key*
               consumer_secret: *consumer_password*
               access_key: *access_key*
               access_secret: *access_password*
