/**
 * 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 UTF-8 (or ASCII) string, with no spaces
 *            or other white space.
 * @param args A string of characters describing to libpurple how to parse this
 *             command's arguments.  If what the user types doesn't match this
 *             pattern, libpurple will keep looking for another command, unless
 *             the flag #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed in @a f.
 *             This string should contain no whitespace, and use a single
 *             character for each argument.  The recognized characters are:
 *             <ul>
 *               <li><tt>'w'</tt>: Matches a single word.</li>
 *               <li><tt>'W'</tt>: Matches a single word, with formatting.</li>
 *               <li><tt>'s'</tt>: Matches the rest of the arguments after this
 *                                 point, as a single string.</li>
 *               <li><tt>'S'</tt>: Same as <tt>'s'</tt> but with formatting.</li>
 *             </ul>
 *             If args is the empty string, then the command accepts no arguments.
 *             The args passed to the callback @a func will be a @c NULL
 *             terminated array of @c 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 Flags specifying various options about this command, combined with
 *          <tt>|</tt> (bitwise OR). You need to at least pass one of
 *          #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_IM or #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_CHAT (you may pass both) in
 *          order for the command to ever actually be called.
 * @param prpl_id If the #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_PRPL_ONLY flag is set, this is the id
 *                of the prpl to which the command applies (such as
 *                <tt>"prpl-msn"</tt>). If the flag is not set, this parameter
 *                is ignored; pass @c NULL (or a humourous string of your
 *                choice!).
 * @param func This is the function to call when someone enters this command.
 * @param helpstr a whitespace sensitive, UTF-8, HTML string describing how to
 *                use the command.  The preferred format of this string is the
 *                command's 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.  Do not include a slash before the
 *                command name.
 * @param data User defined data to pass to the #PurpleCmdFunc @a f.
 * @return A #PurpleCmdId, which is only used for calling
 *         #purple_cmd_unregister, or @a 0 on failure.
