SYNOPSIS

       tweet [options] message

DESCRIPTION

              tweet is a text-based client that allows you to post messages to Twitter.

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*
