NAME

Jabber::NADs - Perl wrapper for Jabber NADs for management of XML nodes

SYNOPSIS

  use Jabber::NADs;
  my $nc = Jabber::NADs::nadCache();
  my $nad = Jabber::NADs::newNAD( $nc );

DESCRIPTION

Jabber::NADs is a wrapper for the nad_t struct based object representing an XML packet fragment in the jabberd2 sm ( session manager ). The API is almost identical to that of the nad API of the utils library, and as such the utils documentation can be refered to.

METHODS

cache_new()

A static method to create a new NAD cache - you really shouldn't call this yourself - it is for testing purposes. jabberd2 controls the creation of nad_cache so there is no need for the user to do this.

 my $nc = Jabber::NADs::cache_new();

cache_free()

A static method to free a NAD cache - this is controled by jabberd2, so no need to call this - this is for testing purposes only.

 Jabber::NADs::cache_free( $nc );
