DESCRIPTION
       mc-tool's usage depends on its first argument (the "command")


   SPECIFYING ACCOUNTS
       Where  an account name is needed, it may be given as a full object path
       (e.g.  /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/gabble/jabber/example), or as
       the unique account-specific suffix (e.g.  gabble/jabber/example).


   SPECIFYING PARAMETER SETTINGS
       Many  commands  take arguments that represent Telepathy connection man‐
       ager parameters (see the Telepathy Specification for details of these).
       Each argument has the following form:

       TYPE:NAME=VALUE

       where  TYPE is either int, uint, bool, or string (other parameter types
       exist, but are currently unsupported by mc-tool), NAME is the  name  of
       the connection manager parameter (e.g.  account or password), and VALUE
       is the parameter's value (with integers in decimal, and booleans  as  0
       or 1).

       The  update command also accepts arguments of the form clear:NAME which
       delete the named parameter from the account configuration.

   LIST
       mc-tool list lists the available accounts.


   ADD
       mc-tool add adds an account. The connection manager  and  protocol  can
       either  be  given  as  the  name  of  a  Mission Control profile, (e.g.
       gtalk), or as a slash-separated connection manager  name  and  protocol
       (e.g.  gabble/jabber).


   DISPLAY
       mc-tool  display  ACCOUNT DISPLAY-NAME sets the DisplayName property of
       ACCOUNT to DISPLAY-NAME.


   NICK
       mc-tool nick ACCOUNT NICKNAME sets the Nickname property of ACCOUNT  to
       NICKNAME.


   SERVICE
       mc-tool  service  ACCOUNT  SERVICE-NAME  sets  the  Service property of
       ACCOUNT to SERVICE-NAME.


   ICON
       mc-tool icon ACCOUNT ICON sets the Icon property of ACCOUNT to ICON.


   SHOW
       mc-tool show ACCOUNT shows information about ACCOUNT.


   GET
       mc-tool get ACCOUNT PARAMETER [PARAMETER...]  shows the values  of  the
       given parameters of ACCOUNT.


   ENABLE
       mc-tool enable ACCOUNT sets the Enabled property of ACCOUNT to True.


   DISABLE
       mc-tool disable ACCOUNT sets the Enabled property of ACCOUNT to False.


   AUTO-PRESENCE
       mc-tool  auto-presence ACCOUNT STATUS [MESSAGE] sets the AutomaticPres‐
       ence property of ACCOUNT to STATUS with optional message MESSAGE.


   REQUEST
       mc-tool request ACCOUNT STATUS  [MESSAGE]  sets  the  RequestedPresence
       property  of  ACCOUNT  to STATUS with optional message MESSAGE; this is
       how you tell an account to connect or go offline, for example.


   AUTO-CONNECT
       mc-tool auto-connect ACCOUNT on sets the ConnectAutomatically  property
       of ACCOUNT to True.  mc-tool auto-connect ACCOUNT off sets it to False.
