This program calls purple API functions using DBus. As opposed to purple-send,
it does not print the return value.
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 PurpleCoreQuit
Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
