.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
.PP
|
\fBmosquitto_pub\fR
|
is a simple MQTT version 5/3\&.1\&.1 client that will publish a single message on a topic and exit\&.
|
.SH "ENCRYPTED CONNECTIONS"
|
.PP
|
\fBmosquitto_pub\fR
|
supports TLS encrypted connections\&. It is strongly recommended that you use an encrypted connection for anything more than the most basic setup\&.
|
.PP
|
To enable TLS connections when using x509 certificates, one of either
|
\fB\-\-cafile\fR
|
or
|
\fB\-\-capath\fR
|
must be provided as an option\&.
|
.PP
|
To enable TLS connections when using TLS\-PSK, you must use the
|
\fB\-\-psk\fR
|
and the
|
\fB\-\-psk\-identity\fR
|
options\&.
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
.PP
|
The options below may be given on the command line, but may also be placed in a config file located at
|
\fB$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mosquitto_pub\fR
|
or
|
\fB$HOME/\&.config/mosquitto_sub\fR
|
with one pair of
|
\fB\-option \fR\fB\fIvalue\fR\fR
|
per line\&. The values in the config file will be used as defaults and can be overridden by using the command line\&. The exceptions to this are the message type options, of which only one can be specified\&. Note also that currently some options cannot be negated, e\&.g\&.
|
\fB\-S\fR\&. Config file lines that have a
|
\fB#\fR
|
as the first character are treated as comments and not processed any further\&.
|
.PP
|
\fB\-A\fR
|
.RS 4
|
Bind the outgoing connection to a local ip address/hostname\&. Use this argument if you need to restrict network communication to a particular interface\&.
|
.RE
|
.PP
|
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-disable\-clean\-session\fR
|
.RS 4
|
Disable the \*(Aqclean session\*(Aq flag\&. This means that all of the subscriptions for the client will be maintained after it disconnects, along with subsequent QoS 1 and QoS 2 messages that arrive\&. When the client reconnects, it will receive all of the queued messages\&.
|
.sp
|
If using this option, the client id must be set manually with
|
\fB\-\-id\fR
|
.RE
|
.PP
|
\fB\-\-cafile\fR
|
.RS 4

.PP
|
\fB\-\-capath\fR

.RS 4

Define the path to a directory containing PEM encoded CA certificates that are trusted\&. Used to enable SSL communication\&.
|
.sp
|
For
|
\fB\-\-capath\fR
|
to work correctly, the certificate files must have "\&.crt" as the file ending and you must run "openssl rehash <path to capath>" each time you add/remove a certificate\&.

\fB\-\-ciphers\fR

.PP
|
\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-property\fR
|
.RS 4
|
Use an MQTT v5 property with this publish\&. If you use this option, the client will be set to be an MQTT v5 client\&. This option has two forms:
|
.sp
|
\fB\-D command identifier value\fR
|
.sp
|
\fB\-D command identifier name value\fR
|
.sp
|
\fBcommand\fR
|
is the MQTT command/packet identifier and can be one of CONNECT, PUBLISH, PUBREL, DISCONNECT, AUTH, or WILL\&. The properties available for each command are listed in the
|
Properties
|
section\&.
|
.sp
|
\fBidentifier\fR
|
is the name of the property to add\&. This is as described in the specification, but with \*(Aq\-\*(Aq as a word separator\&. For example:
|
\fBpayload\-format\-indicator\fR\&. More details are in the
|
Properties
|
section\&.
|
.sp
|
\fBvalue\fR
|
is the value of the property to add, with a data type that is property specific\&.
|
.sp
|
\fBname\fR
|
is only used for the
|
\fBuser\-property\fR
|
property as the first of the two strings in the string pair\&. In that case,
|
\fBvalue\fR
|
is the second of the strings in the pair\&.
|
.RE

\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-id\fR

.RE

.PP
|
\fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-id\-prefix\fR

Provide a prefix that the client id will be built from by appending the process id of the client\&. This is useful where the broker is using the clientid_prefixes option\&. Cannot be used at the same time as the

\fB\-\-id\fR
|
argument\&.
|
.RE
|
.PP
|
\fB\-\-insecure\fR
|
.RS 4
|
When using certificate based encryption, this option disables verification of the server hostname in the server certificate\&. This can be useful when testing initial server configurations but makes it possible for a malicious third party to impersonate your server through DNS spoofing, for example\&. Use this option in testing
|
\fIonly\fR\&. If you need to resort to using this option in a production environment, your setup is at fault and there is no point using encryption\&.

.RE

.PP

\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keepalive\fR

.RS 4
