plugin file, XEP-0234: registering is now done by class + use of async: - instead of registering a callback, a file sending manager now register itself and must implement some well known method (`fileSend`, `canHandleFileSend`) and optionally a `name` attribute - `utils.asDeferred` is now used for callbacks, so all type of methods including coroutines can be used. - feature checking is now handled by `canHandleFileSend` method instead of simple namespace check, this allows to use a method when namespace can't be checked (this is the case when a file is sent to a bare jid with jingle)

=========================================
ping: get response time of an XMPP entity
=========================================

``ping`` is more or less the equivalent of the command of the same name on most OSes, but
for XMPP. It send a `XEP-0199`_ PING and wait for the answer. When (and if) received, the
time to receive the answer is shown, else the time to receive the error message is shown.
This can be helpful to quickly test the connection with the server or a device.

If you need to get only the response time (without text around), you may use ``-d,
--delay-only``.
