annotate libpurple/cmds.h @ 18035:c168d1ae2012

A patch from Norbert Buchmuller: "There's a 'setstatus' command implemented in 'gaim-remote', but there's no 'getstatus'. For some tasks (eg. setting status to 'offline' on hibernation and restoring it on resume) it would be useful if such command existed." I'm not sure if we're considering this API or not. committer: Richard Laager <[e-mail]>

/**
 * Register a new command with the core.
 *
 * The command will only happen if commands are enabled,
 * which is a UI pref. UIs don't have to support commands at all.
 *
 * @param cmd The command. This should be a UTF8 (or ASCII) string, with no spaces
 *            or other white space.
 * @param args This tells Purple how to parse the arguments to the command for you.
 *             If what the user types doesn't match, Purple will keep looking for another
 *             command, unless the flag @c PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed in f.
 *             This string contains no whitespace, and uses a single character for each argument.
 *             The recognized characters are:
 *               'w' Matches a single word.
 *               'W' Matches a single word, with formatting.
 *               's' Matches the rest of the arguments after this point, as a single string.
 *               'S' Same as 's' but with formatting.
 *             If args is the empty string, then the command accepts no arguments.
 *             The args passed to callback func will be a @c NULL terminated array of null
 *             terminated strings, and will always match the number of arguments asked for,
 *             unless PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed.
 * @param p This is the priority. Higher priority commands will be run first, and usually the
 *          first command will stop any others from being called.
 * @param f These are the flags. You need to at least pass one of PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_IM or
 *          PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_CHAT (can may pass both) in order for the command to ever actually
 *          be called.
 * @param prpl_id This is the prpl's id string. This is only meaningful if the proper flag is set.
 * @param func This is the function to call when someone enters this command.
 * @param helpstr This is a whitespace sensitive, UTF-8, HTML string describing how to use the command.
 *                The preferred format of this string shall be the commands name, followed by a space
 *                and any arguments it accepts (if it takes any arguments, otherwise no space), followed
 *                by a colon, two spaces, and a description of the command in sentence form. No slash
 *                before the command name.
 * @param data User defined data to pass to the PurpleCmdFunc
 * @return A PurpleCmdId. This is only used for calling purple_cmd_unregister.
 *         Returns 0 on failure.

 *            The caller doesn't have to do any parsing, except removing the command
 *            prefix, which the core has no knowledge of. cmd should not contain any
 *            formatting, and should be in plain text (no html entities).

 *               HTML, with < > and &, at least, escaped to html entities, and should
 *               include both the default formatting and any extra manual formatting.
