Hi,

Quoting Mikhail Shevchuk (mikhail.shevchuk at gmail.com):

from what you are writing, I am not sure whether you are having issues
with your own code on Allegro or with cl-xmpp.

Note that cl-xmpp normally reads from the socket itself.

If the trouble you are having is indeed caused by something in cl-xmpp,
can you please include an example of how to reproduce the issues you are
having using cl-xmpp?

usocket has docstrings, available through the DOCUMENTATION function.

I would suggest contacting its author or the usocket mailing list
directly if you find its documentation insufficient.
