plugin XEP-0346: "Form Discovery and Publishing" implementation: this implementation replaces the former non standard node schema, and works in a similar way (the schema is put in a separated node instead of a special field, thus it will now work with most/all PubSub services, and not only SàT PubSub). The implementation has been done in a way that nothing should be changed in frontends (bridge methods names and arguments stay the same). The nodes are modified, but if values are taken from backend, it's automatically adapted.

=========================================
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``.
