Net::MQTT(3)

📦 version 1.163170, in alpine 3.24

💅 Net::MQTT(3) — like, the actual manual page, bestie

So this whole thing is Net::MQTT, a set of Perl modules for the MQTT Protocol over at http://mqtt.org/ — and yes it's a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crowd, we been knew. 🫶

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.163170 — that's the one, that's the number. 📌

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Okay so here's the whole vibe in three lines:

# net-mqtt-sub /topic

# net-mqtt-pub /topic message

# net-mqtt-trace mqtt.tcp

Three lil commands, three lil jobs. Iconic. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is the low level API for the MQTT protocol, which is described at http://mqtt.org. Ngl it's the plumbing-level stuff, not the cute wrapper stuff (even though it's called Net::MQTT — do NOT come for me, that's what the file says 💀).

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is an early release and the API is still subject to change. So like… don't hardcode your whole personality around it, bestie. It might shift on you. 😭

🌸 DISCLAIMER 🌸

Not official IBM code, periodt. The author works for IBM but wrote this in their spare time (with permission) for fun. Fr fr, for fun. 🎀
