<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>amqp-consume</command> consumes messages from a
queue on an AMQP server. For each message that arrives, a
receiving command is run, with the message body supplied
to it on standard input.
</para>
<para>
<command>amqp-consume</command> can consume from an
existing queue, or it can create a new queue. It can
optionally bind the queue to an existing exchange, or to a
newly created exchange.
</para>
<para>
By default, messages will be consumed with explicit
acknowledgements. A message will only be acknowledged if
the receiving command exits successfully (i.e. with an
exit code of zero). The AMQP <quote>no ack</quote> mode
(a.k.a. auto-ack mode) can be enable with the
<option>-A</option> option.

<para>
The name of the queue to consume messages
from. If the specified queue does not exist,
an auto-delete queue is created with the given
name. If this option is omitted, a new
auto-delete queue will be created, with a
unique name assigned to the queue by the AMQP
server; that unique name will be displayed on
stderr.

The name of the exchange to bind the queue to.
If omitted, binding is not performed. The
specified exchange should already exist unless
the <option>--exchange-type</option> option is
used to request the creation of an exchange.
