# Service Discovery

This is a module for mcabber to send service discovery requests.

It provides mcabber command 'disco'. To use this module just load it -

then command will be available.

With this you can discover abilities of various jabber entities, like

servers, transports etc. Note, that it can only provide information,

what to do with this information (eg register to entity, that supports

it) is not this module's task. Note also, that if you want to get

abilities of some buddy, you should send disco request to specific

resource of that buddy (because of this this command supports extended

notation ./resource), if you'll send request to bare jid, you'll get

reply from server, that serves that jid.
