157 * purple_cmd_register:
158 * @cmd: The command. This should be a UTF-8 (or ASCII) string, with no spaces
159 * or other white space.
160 * @args: A string of characters describing to libpurple how to parse this
161 * command's arguments. If what the user types doesn't match this
162 * pattern, libpurple will keep looking for another command, unless
163 * the flag #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed in @f.
164 * This string should contain no whitespace, and use a single
165 * character for each argument. The recognized characters are:
167 * <listitem><literal>'w'</literal>: Matches a single word.</listitem>
168 * <listitem><literal>'W'</literal>: Matches a single word, with
169 * formatting.</listitem>
170 * <listitem><literal>'s'</literal>: Matches the rest of the
171 * arguments after this point,
172 * as a single string.</listitem>
173 * <listitem><literal>'S'</literal>: Same as <literal>'s'</literal>
174 * but with formatting.</listitem>
176 * If args is the empty string, then the command accepts no
177 * arguments. The args passed to the callback @func will be a %NULL
178 * terminated array of %NULL terminated strings, and will always
179 * match the number of arguments asked for, unless
180 * #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_ALLOW_WRONG_ARGS is passed.
181 * @p: This is the priority. Higher priority commands will be run first,
182 * and usually the first command will stop any others from being
184 * @f: Flags specifying various options about this command, combined with
185 * <literal>|</literal> (bitwise OR). You need to at least pass one of
186 * #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_IM or #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_CHAT (you may pass both) in
187 * order for the command to ever actually be called.
188 * @protocol_id: If the #PURPLE_CMD_FLAG_PROTOCOL_ONLY flag is set, this is the id
189 * of the protocol to which the command applies (such as
190 * <literal>"prpl-msn"</literal>). If the flag is not set, this
191 * parameter is ignored; pass %NULL (or a humourous string of
193 * @func: (scope call): This is the function to call when someone enters this
195 * @helpstr: a whitespace sensitive, UTF-8, HTML string describing how to
196 * use the command. The preferred format of this string is the
197 * command's name, followed by a space and any arguments it
198 * accepts (if it takes any arguments, otherwise no space),
199 * followed by a colon, two spaces, and a description of the
200 * command in sentence form. Do not include a slash before the
202 * @data: User defined data to pass to the #PurpleCmdFunc @f.
204 * Register a new command with the core.
206 * The command will only happen if commands are enabled,
207 * which is a UI pref. UIs don't have to support commands at all.

232 * prefix, which the core has no knowledge of. cmd should not contain any
233 * formatting, and should be in plain text (no html entities).
234 * @markup: This is the same as cmd, but is the formatted version. It should be in
235 * HTML, with < > and &, at least, escaped to html entities, and should
236 * include both the default formatting and any extra manual formatting.
237 * @errormsg: If the command failed errormsg is filled in with the appropriate error
238 * message. It must be freed by the caller with g_free().
242 * Normally the UI calls this to perform a command. This might also be useful
243 * if aliases are ever implemented.
