How to add/remove user from own roster in ejabberd

Question

I would like to be able to handle user roster (add/remove buddy) without using xmpp stanzas, but with erlang own erlang function (or ejabberd functions).

Use case: i want to add user2@myhost to user1@myhost's roster:

Is it possible to do something like:

User1 = "user1@myhost",
User2 = "user2@myhost",
mymodule:add_user_to_roster(User1, User2)

and if so, how can I implement the function add_user_to_roster(User1, User2) ?
