# 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.
Module also provides C header file, so that it's functionality can be
used from other modules.
