DOKUJCLIENT

NAME

dokujclient - interact (read, write, ...) with an instance of Dokuwiki

SYNOPSIS

dokujclient GENERAL_OPTIONS COMMAND COMMAND_OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

Dokuwiki is an open source wiki engine. It’s hence meant to be mainly used through a web browser. However, it also has an xmlrpc API.
Dokujclient uses this xmlrpc API, so that it’s possible to interact with an instance of Dokuwiki through a console or a shell script.

GENERAL OPTIONS

--url URL

The url to the xmlrpc interface. Should look like http[s]://server/mywiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php.
Obviously, the wiki should be configured to accept incoming xmlrpc queries. See Dokuwiki’s remote config.
This parameter is mandatory.

-u USER, --user USER

Specify the username USER to use to connect to the server.
Obviously, the USER should be authorized to use the xmlrpc interface. See Dokuwiki’s remoteuser config.

-p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD

The password of the USER

--password-interactive

You will be prompted to enter the user’s password interactively. Useful to avoid writing the password in clear text in the command line.

--version

Prints the version of dokujclient

-h --help

Prints the general help

--debug

Enable debug mode, which will print more information

COMMANDS

help

Prints the general help

help COMMAND

Prints the help and the COMMAND_OPTIONS for COMMAND

FILES

To avoid typing your url, user, and password each time, you may create in your home a file .dokujclientrc, and put some or all of this info in it.

echo "url=http://myhost/mywiki/lib/exe/xmlrpc.php" > ˜/.dokujclientrc
echo "user=toto" >> ˜/.dokujclientrc
echo "password=myPassword" >> ˜/.dokujclientrc
