     2 # Service Discovery

     3 

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

     5 

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

     7 then command will be available.

     8 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    16 reply from server, that serves that jid.
