+#### hz
+
+Simple, minimalist command line tool to send the status to hubzilla via the API. Requires curl.
+
+```
+hz [<configuration file>]
+```
+
+hz requires a configuration file. You can either use a `.hubzilla` file and omit the `<configuration file>` parameter or create a configuration file under any name in the hubzilla directory, the name of which you then specify when calling hz.
+
+Format of the configuration file:
+
+```
+USER=<your username>
+PASS=<your password>
+HUB=<domain of the hub>
+```
+
+You can then enter your posting and finalise the entry with Ctrl-D.
