−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``.
