DESCRIPTION

              tweet is a text-based client that allows you to post messages to
              Twitter.

OPTIONS AND DOCUMENTATION

       Options:
               -h --help : print this help
               --username : the twitter username [optional]
               --password : the twitter password [optional]

       Documentation:

              If the --username  or  --password  command  line  arguments  are
              present they will be used to authenticate to Twitter.

              If  either  of  the  command  line  flags  are  not present, the
              environment variables TWEETUSERNAME and TWEETPASSWORD will  then
              be checked for your username or password, respectively.

              If  neither  the command line flags nor the enviroment variables
              are present, the .tweetrc file, if it exists, can be used to set
              the  default username and password.  The file should contain the
              following three lines, replacing *username* with your  username,
              and *password* with your password:

              A skeletal .tweetrc file:

               [Tweet]
               username: *username*
               password: *password*
