💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the TELEPATHY-SALUT(8) page, bestie — filed under D-Bus services — and it's all about telepathy-salut, the Telepathy connection manager for link-local XMPP. slay. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

/usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-salut

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Salut implements the Telepathy D-Bus specification for link-local XMPP — that's XEP-0174, often called "Bonjour", iykyk — and it lets Telepathy clients like empathy(1) talk to other implementations of link-local XMPP, such as iChat. iconic behavior, honestly. 💅

It also extends the protocol to support multicast-based chat rooms and collaboration. not me being obsessed with multicast chat rooms, but here we are. 🎀

It is a D-Bus service that runs on the session bus, and it should usually be started automatically by D-Bus activation. However, it might be useful to start it manually for debugging. lowkey handy when you're in detective mode. 🔍✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

There are no command-line options. literally zero, bestie. the options section ate and left no crumbs — because there's nothing in it. 💀

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • SALUT_LOGFILE=filename — if set, debug output will go to the given file rather than to stderr. fancy little logfile moment. 🍓
  • SALUT_DEBUG=type — may be set to "all" for full debug output, or various undocumented options (which may change from release to release) to filter the output.
  • GIBBER_DEBUG=type — may be set to "all" for full debug output from the Gibber XMPP library used by Salut, or various undocumented options (which may change from release to release) to filter the output.
bestie, those "undocumented options" can change from release to release — so don't get too attached, fr fr. 🫶
