The following example sets the presence status of the user "winccoa.etm@jabber.at" to "Away" and "I will be right back!".

Note: You have to replace the code: p = xmppOpen("winccoa.etm@jabber.at","123677", "callback", m); DebugN("xmppOpen:", p); by your own user and password. This code is an example!
#uses "CtrlXmpp"
int p;
main(mapping event)
{
  p = xmppOpen("winccoa.etm@jabber.at","123677");
  DebugN("xmppOpen:", p);
  int s = xmppRoomJoin(p,"testraum@conference.jabber.at", "WinCCOA");
  DebugN("Joined the room:", s);
  /* Change the presence!!! */
  int t;
  DebugN( "set presence:",t = xmppSetPresence(p,"Away", "I will be right back""));
}
