✨ NAME ✨

/avatar — bestie, it's the Profanity XMPP client /avatar command 💅 no cap, that's literally the whole vibe.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so listen. /avatar is your one-stop glow-up station for pictures, and it does three (3) whole things, main character energy only:

  • Upload an avatar for yourself 🫶
  • Disable your avatar (girl, bye 👋)
  • Download a contact's avatar 👀

All of this runs on XEP-0084, okay, that's the whole protocol situation. And if literally nothing happens after you use this command? Don't come for me. It just means the user either doesn't have an avatar set or doesn't use XEP-0084 to publish it 😭 nothing we can do, that's their business fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/avatar set <path>

/avatar disable

/avatar get <barejid>

/avatar open <barejid>

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

Four of them, all iconic, all necessary:

  • set <path> — points your avatar at the image sitting at <path>. New pic, who dis ✨
  • disable — turns off avatar publishing, so your avatar will not display to others. You're going private, lowkey mysterious 🕶️
  • get <barejid> — downloads the avatar. barejid is the JID you're downloading the avatar from 🍓
  • open <barejid> — downloads the avatar and opens it with a command. Heads up, go peek at /executable for that part 👑

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Here's how the girlies do it:

/avatar set ~/images/avatar.png

/avatar disable

/avatar get thor@valhalla.edda

/avatar open freyja@vanaheimr.edda

See? Not scary at all. Slay 💜

Alright bestie, that's the whole page. This one's from Profanity version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08 🎀 go forth, set an avatar, and let them see you 🌈⭐👑
