Use strtoul instead of atoi for the size of an SI transfer, which doesn't produce negative numbers. However, since size_t is platform dependent, this probably only fixes things on 64-bit systems until 3.0.0 when we can fix the PurpleXfer structure. Refs #13458.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go

HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
