✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Profanity XMPP client manual, and this page is all about one lil command: /status. 💖

/status — the Profanity /status command. that's it, that's the name, we keep it simple.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lowkey this command has two whole moods and you switch between them with a word:

  • /status get — go find out the presence information of a contact, or of somebody hanging out in a room. 👀
  • /status set — set your own status, your own vibe, your own main character energy. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

/status set <state> ["<message>"]

/status get <contact>|<nick>

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • <state> — your own status. the possible values are, and I need you to write these down: chat, online, away, dnd, xa. that's the whole menu, no substitutions. ✨
  • <message> — an optional message to go along with the status. needs quotation marks if it's more than one word, so wrap that thing up like a lil gift. 🎁
  • <contact> — the contact whose presence you wish to see. you want the tea, this is who you get the tea about. 🍓
  • <nick> — if you're in a chat room, this is the occupant whose presence you wish to see. room-specific bestie energy. 🌈

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

/status get odin@valhalla.edda

/status get jon

/status set online
