The options are giving main character energy:
-pβ write the message to plumbfile (default/mnt/plumb/send). π-aβ set theattrfield of the message (default is empty). β¨-sβ set thesrcfield of the message (default isplumb). π«Ά-dβ set thedstfield of the message (default is empty). π-tβ set thetypefield of the message (default istext). πΈ-wβ set thewdirfield of the message (default is the current working directory ofplumb). π-iβ take the data from standard input rather than the argument strings. If anaction=attribute is not otherwise specified,plumbwill add anaction=showdataattribute to the message. ππ₯
