description

Send remote commands to Purple. This program uses DBus to communicate with Pidgin/Finch.

options

Each command is of one of the three types:

[protocol:]commandname?param1=value1&param2=value2&...
FunctionName?param1=value1&param2=value2&...
FunctionName(value1,value2,...)

The second and third form are provided for completeness but their use is not recommended; use purple-send or purple-send-async instead. The second form uses introspection to find out the parameter names and their types, therefore it is rather slow.
