rpk topic produce

Produce records to a topic.

Producing records reads from STDIN, parses input according to --format, and produce records to Redpanda. The input formatter understands a wide variety of formats.

Parsing input operates on either sizes or on delimiters, both of which can be specified in the same formatting options. If using sizes to specify something, the size must come before what it is specifying. Delimiters match on an exact text basis. This command will quit with an error if any input fails to match your specified format.
