NAME
       /register


DESCRIPTION
       Register an account on a server.


SYNOPSIS
       /register <username> <server> [port <port>] [tls
       force|allow|trust|direct|disable|legacy]


ARGUMENTS
       <username>
           Username to register with.

       <server>
           Server to register account on.

       port <port>
           The port to use if different to the default (5222, or 5223 for
           SSL).

       tls force
           Force TLS connection, and fail if one cannot be established. This
           is the default behavior.

       tls allow
           Use TLS for the connection if it is available.

       tls trust
           Force TLS connection and trust the server's certificate.

       tls direct
           Use direct TLS for the connection. It means TLS handshake is
           started right after TCP connection is established.

       tls disable
           Disable TLS for the connection.

       tls legacy
           Alternative keyword for 'direct', which was created when one still
           thought that 'STARTTLS' is the future.
