This program calls purple API functions using DBus and prints the return value.
If you are not interested in the return value, use purple-send-async.
Usage:
$0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...
This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how
to specify the parameters.
Examples:
$0 PurpleAccountsFindConnected string: string:prpl-jabber
$0 PurpleAccountsGetAll
$0 PurpleCoreQuit
Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
