jabberd2-router(8)

💖 jabberd2-router — the manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the jabberd2-router page, straight out of the jabberd project's manual set. this one's a section 8 joint, so you know it's serious server business. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

jabberd2-router — the XML packet distributor. that's it. that's the whole job title. she moves packets. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

jabberd2-router [-h] [-c config] [-D]

three little flags, one big responsibility. look at her go ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so jabberd2-router is literally the core component of the whole jabberd system. like, the main character. no cap.

what does she do all day? two things, and she eats every time:

• she passes XML packets back and forth between the components 🌸
• she manages components entering and exiting the network — so, the comings and goings, the arrivals and departures, the whole vibe check at the door 👑

that's the entire gig and she does it flawlessly. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h — shows you a summary of the options. the "help me bestie" flag 🎀
• -c — tells her to use an alternate configuration file instead of the usual one. and the compiled-in default, the one she reaches for if you don't say otherwise, is /etc/jabberd2/router.xml 📁
• -D — prints debugging output. real ones know: you have to configure jabberd with the --enable-debug switch to actually enable this. like, the flag's there, but it needs the build to back it up. iykyk 🔥
