✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Profanity XMPP client manual — we're doing the /ping command today 🫶

  • /ping — the Profanity /ping command. that's it. that's the whole name. iconic of her honestly 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so real talk: /ping sends an IQ ping stanza to the JID you tell it about. that's the vibe — you point it at someone, it pings them, you find out if they're alive over there 🔥

and if you don't supply a JID? no worries bestie, it just pings your chat server instead 🎀 — like, the server girlies get the ping, not a specific person. lowkey a little rude but that's what it does ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/ping [<jid>]

periodt. that's the whole syntax. <jid> is optional, brackets are doing the heavy lifting 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • <jid> — the Jabber ID you want to send the ping request to 🎯. like, who exactly are we checking on? drop their JID here and the ping goes straight to them. this one's optional, so if you ghost it, the server gets pinged instead (see DESCRIPTION, no cap) 💖

🫶 a lil sign-off 🫶

that's the page, bestie! this whole manual is living under version 0.18.2, dated 2026-06-08 🌈 — go ping someone, you ate 💅✨👑
