mod_caps

Module description

This module provides a presence-based mechanism for exchanging information about entity capabilities as defined in XEP-0115: Entity Capabilities. Additionally, it filters out PEP messages that the recipient declared (in announced caps) being not capable of handling. It is not this module's responsibility to intercept and answer disco requests routed between clients.

Options

This module expects two optional arguments that apply to cache tab:

modules.mod_caps.cache_size

  • Syntax: positive integer
  • Default: 1000
  • Example: cache_size = 2000

The size of a cache_tab (the amount of entries) holding the information about capabilities of each user.

modules.mod_caps.cache_life_time

  • Syntax: positive integer
  • Default: 86_400 (24 hours)
  • Example: cache_life_time = 10_000

Time (in seconds) after which entries will be removed.

modules.mod_caps.backend

  • Syntax: string, one of "mnesia", "rdbms".
  • Default: "mnesia"
  • Example: backend = "mnesia"
