X-Chat 2 Perl Interface

-

-

-

Introduction

-

This is the new Perl interface for X-Chat 2. However, due to changes in -xchat's plugin code you will need xchat 2.0.8 or above to load this. Scripts -written using the old interface will continue to work. If there are any -problems, questions, comments or suggestions please email them to the address -on the bottom of this page.

-

-

-

-

Priorities

- -

-

-

-

-

Timer and fd hooks

- -

-

-

hook_fd flags

- -

-

-

Functions

-

-

-

Xchat::register( $name, $version, [$description,[$callback]] )

- -

This is the first thing to call in every script.

-

-

-

Xchat::hook_server( $message, $callback, [\%options] )

-

-

-

Xchat::hook_command( $command, $callback, [\%options] )

-

-

-

Xchat::hook_print( $event,$callback, [\%options] )

-

-

-

Xchat::hook_timer( $timeout,$callback, [\%options | $data] )

-

-

-

Xchat::hook_fd( $handle, $callback, [ \%options ] )

-

These functions can be to intercept various events. -hook_server can be used to intercept any incoming message from the IRC server. -hook_command can be used to intercept any command, if the command doesn't currently exist then a new one is created. -hook_print can be used to intercept any of the events listed in Setttings->Advanced->Text Events -hook_timer can be used to create a new timer

-
-

Valid keys for \%options:

- - - - - - - -
data Additional data that is to be associated with the
- hook. For timer hooks this value can be provided either as
- Xchat::hook_timer( $timeout, $cb,{data=>$data})
- or Xchat::hook_timer( $timeout, $cb, $data ).
- However, this means that hook_timer cannot be provided
- with a hash reference containing data as a key.
example:
- my $options = { data => [@arrayOfStuff] };
- Xchat::hook_timer( $timeout, $cb, $options );
-
- In this example, the timer's data will be
- [@arrayOfStuff] and not { data => [@arrayOfStuff] }
-
- This key is valid for all of the hook functions.
-
- Default is undef.
-
priority Sets the priority for the hook.
- It can be set to one of the - Xchat::PRI_* constants.
-
- This key only applies to server, command - and print hooks.
-
- Default is Xchat::PRI_NORM. -
help_text Text displayed for /help $command.
-
- This key only applies to command hooks.
-
- Default is "". -
flags Specify the flags for a fd hook.
-
- See hook fd flags section for valid values.
-
- On Windows if the handle is a pipe you specify
- Xchat::FD_NOTSOCKET in addition to any other flags you might be using.
-
- This key only applies to fd hooks.
- Default is Xchat::FD_READ -

-

-

When callbacks are invoked

-

Each of the hooks will be triggered at different times depending on the type -of hook.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hook Type When the callback will be invoked
server hooks a $message message is - received from the server -
command hooks the $command command is - executed, either by the user or from a script -
print hooks X-Chat is about to print the message for the - $event event -
timer hooks called every $timeout milliseconds - (1000 millisecond is 1 second)
- the callback will be executed in the same context where - the hook_timer was called, if the context no longer exists - then it will execute in a random context -
fd hooks depends on the flags that were passed to hook_fd
- See hook_fd flags section. -

The value return from these hook functions can be passed to Xchat::unhook -to remove the hook.

-

-

-

Callback Arguments

-

All callback functions will receive their arguments in @_ like every -other Perl subroutine.

-

-Server and command callbacks
-
-$_[0] - array reference containing the IRC message or command and -arguments broken into words
-example:
-/command arg1 arg2 arg3
-$_[0][0] - command
-$_[0][1] - arg1
-$_[0][2] - arg2
-$_[0][3] - arg3
-
-$_[1] - array reference containing the Nth word to the last word
-example:
-/command arg1 arg2 arg3
-$_[1][0] - command arg1 arg2 arg3
-$_[1][1] - arg1 arg2 arg3
-$_[1][2] - arg2 arg3
-$_[1][3] - arg3
-
-$_[2] - the data that was passed to the hook function
-
-Print callbacks
-
-$_[0] - array reference containing the values for the - text event see Settings->Advanced->Text Events
-$_[1] - the data that was passed to the hook function
-
-Timer callbacks
-
-$_[0] - the data that was passed to the hook function
-
fd callbacks
-
-$_[0] - the handle that was passed to hook_fd
-$_[1] - flags indicating why the callback was called
-$_[2] - the data that was passed to the hook function
-

-

-

Callback return values

-

All server, command and print callbacks should return one of -the Xchat::EAT_* constants. -Timer callbacks can return Xchat::REMOVE to remove -the timer or Xchat::KEEP to keep it going

-

-

-

Miscellaneous Hook Related Information

-

For server hooks, if $message is "RAW LINE" then $cb will be called for -every IRC message than X-Chat receives.

-

For command hooks if $command is "" then $cb will be called for -messages entered by the user that is not a command.

-

For print hooks besides those events listed in -Settings->Advanced->Text Events, these additional events can be used.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Event Description

-

Xchat::unhook( $hook )

- -

This function is used to removed a hook previously added with one of -the Xchat::hook_* functions

-

It returns the data that was passed to the Xchat::hook_* function when -the hook was added

-

-

-

Xchat::print( $text | \@lines, [$channel,[$server]] )

- -

The first argument can either be a string or an array reference of strings. -Either or both of $channel and $server can be undef.

-

If called as Xchat::print( $text ), it will always return true. -If called with either the channel or the channel and the server -specified then it will return true if a context is found and -false otherwise. The text will not be printed if the context -is not found. The meaning of setting $channel or $server to -undef is the same as -find_context.

-

-

-

Xchat::printf( $format, LIST )

- -

-

-

Xchat::command( $command | \@commands, [$channel,[$server]] )

- -

The first argument can either be a string or an array reference of strings. -Either or both of $channel and $server can be undef.

-

If called as Xchat::command( $command ), it will always return true. -If called with either the channel or the channel and the server -specified then it will return true if a context is found and false -otherwise. The command will not be executed if the context is not found. -The meaning of setting $channel or $server to undef is the same -as find_context.

-

-

-

Xchat::commandf( $format, LIST )

- -

-

-

Xchat::find_context( [$channel, [$server]] )

- -

Either or both of $channel and $server can be undef. Calling -Xchat::find_context() is the same as calling -Xchat::find_context( undef, undef) and -Xchat::find_context( $channel ) is -the same as Xchat::find_context( $channel, undef ).

-

If $server is undef, find any channel named $channel. -If $channel is undef, find the front most window -or tab named $server.If both $channel and -$server are undef, find the currently focused tab or window.

-

Return the context found for one of the above situations or undef if such -a context cannot be found.

-

-

-

Xchat::get_context()

-

Returns the current context.

-

-

-

Xchat::set_context( $context | $channel,[$server] )

Xchat::user_info( [$nick] )

- -

This function is mainly intended to be used as a shortcut for when you need -to retrieve some information about only one user in a channel. Otherwise it -is better to use get_list. -If $nick is found a hash reference containing the same keys as those in the -"users" list of get_list is returned otherwise undef is returned. -Since it relies on get_list this function can only be used in a -channel context.

-

-

-

Xchat::context_info( [$context] )

- -

This function will return the information normally retrieved with get_info, except this is for the context that is passed in. The information will be returned in the form of a hash. The keys of the hash are the $id you would normally supply to get_info as well as all the keys that are valid for the items in the "channels" list from get_list. Use of this function is more efficient than calling get_list( "channels" ) and searching through the result.

Xchat::strip_code( $string )

- -

This function will remove bold, color, beep, reset, reverse and underline codes from $string. It will also remove ANSI escape codes which might get used by certain terminal based clients. If it is called in void context $string will be modified otherwise a modified copy of $string is returned.

Xchat Perl Docs

- - -
- - -
- -Introduction -
-
- -
-

Good Hello!

-

The purpose of this page is to give people some quick documentation on the -things that they will encounter when they try to code scripts for X-Chat. -It is not meant to be a comprehensive programming tutorial, -by any means. If that's what you're looking for, then you can just keep on -looking.

-

If you're going to do any scripting with X-Chat at all, you will -need to know perl. It also won't hurt to have had experience writing tcl for -eggdrops or ircII scripts. Otherwise you're going to have to be very careful -to avoid creating conditions which could flood you offline or do other -not-so-optimal things. ;) Thankfully, it shouldn't take most intelligent -people more than a week (month on the outside) enough perl to do some nice -things in it. -Perl is a very flexible language.

-

You should probably also go read (or at least skim over and then carefully -bookmark this copy of the thing that defines how IRC works: RFC 1459. -Other documents that scripters might find useful would be this -nice list of server -numerics, and this list of changes -for Hybrid 6 which is something everyone on EFNet should read. In fact, I -strongly suggest saving copies of these documents to your local -hard drive, because you will be back to look at them again soon.

-

One last thing... While you may hear that RFC 1459 isn't being followed very -well, and this is partly true, do your absolute best to stick with RFC-compliant -behaviours anyway because otherwise there's a good chance that your script will -never interoperate properly with others, or at least just piss off a lot of other -people. Pay special attention to section 2.2 of the RFC.

- - -
- -About Handlers -
-
- -
-There are [currently] four basic ways to make things call the subroutines you write for X-Chat and they are: -
  • message handlers - Triggered by messagse sent from the IRC server to your client
  • -
  • command handlers - triggered by / commands typed in by the user at the keyboard
  • -
  • timeout handlers - triggered by gtk+
  • -
  • print handlers - triggered just before xchat calls its built in print handlers for events
-
- - -
- - -
- -About Exit Codes -
-
- -
-These are very important. Every time you set up a handler, it takes precedent over the built-in functions and commands of X-Chat. That is, whatever thing which triggered your subroutine will go to your code before it goes to X-Chat to be dealt with. In this way you can replace almost every built-in function that the client has with your own routines. The thing to remember is that if your code exits by hitting the end of your subroutine, or by a plain 'return' statement, processing of the event will go on to whatever other things have set up hooks for the event, and then (provided nothing else exits with a return value of 1) to X-Chat itself. There is only one problem with this, (which is solved by the brokering handler that I'll explain that later) and that is that you cannot really control what order the custom routines get called. Normally they will execute in order of which ones were installed first, but a single script has no real way of knowing this. Beware. -
- - -
- - -
- -About @_ -
-
- -
-If you've never heard of @_ before, then you've obviously not coded in perl. When a message handler triggers, the raw line from the IRC server is passed to the subroutine you specify in @_. When a command handler is triggered, only the arguments are passed to the routine through @_ and they are not broken into a list, but left as one long string. You'll have to parse those yourself with split. (I advise using s/\s+/ /g to collapse the blank space to single space first.) When a timer handler is triggered, I *think* absolutely nothing is passed in @_, but it's not like anything terrifically important could be passed along anyway. Be especially careful when setting up message handlers for mode changes, since the modes are not broken up into individual events like they are with eggdrop. The upside of this is that X-Chat has no mode hooks of it's own, so you don't have to worry about it too much. (This is not the case with the brokering handler, however.) -
- - -
- - -
- -About Context -
-
- -
-There are some really nice things about coding for X-Chat, and the biggest one is that it's fairly good about determining the proper context for things. If a server sends something that triggers a message handler, then you can be sure that unless you specify otherwise, that your IRC::print or IRC::command function call will go back to that server and that server alone. If you really really need to know what the current context is, use the IRC::get_info function as detailed below. -
- -
- - -
- - -
- -script initialization commands -
-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::register(scriptname, version, shutdownroutine, unused); -
-
- -
-

This is the first function your script should call, example:

-

IRC::register ("my script", "1.0", "", "");

-

The "shutdownroutine" arg is a function that will be called when X-Chat shuts down, so you get a chance to save config files etc. You can omit this arg, it is optional. The "unused" arg is reserved for future use, for now just provide "". This function also returns X-Chat's version number.

-
- - -
- - -
- -Handler initialization commands -
-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::add_message_handler(message, subroutine_name); -
-
- -
-

This function allows you to set up hooks to subroutines so that when a particular message arrives from the IRC server that you are connected to, it can be passed to a subroutine to be dealt with appropriately. The message argument is essentially the second solid token from the raw line sent by the IRC server, and X-Chat doesn't know that some numeric messages have associated text messages, so for now set up a handler for both if you want to be sure odd servers don't screw up your expectations. (Read: fear IRCNet.) The entire line sent by the IRC server will be passed to your subroutine in @_. For the completely uninitiated, messages are things like 'PRIVMSG', 'NOTICE', '372', etc.

-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::add_command_handler(command, subroutine_name); -
-
- -
-

This function allows you to set up hooks for actual commands that the user can type into the text window. The arguments are passed to the subroutine via @_, and arrive as a single string. @_ will be null if no arguments are supplied. It's recommended that you be sure and collapse the excess whitespace with s/\s+/ /g before attempting to chop the line up with split. As mentioned earlier, exiting with an undefined return value will allow the command to be parsed by other handlers, while using a return value of 1 will signal the program that no further parsing needs to be done with this command.

-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::add_timeout_handler(interval, subroutine_name); -
-
- -
-

This function allows you to set up hooks for subroutines to be called at a particular interval. The interval is measured in milliseconds, so don't use a particularly small value unless you wish to drive the CPU load through the roof. 1000ms = 1 second. No values will be passed to the routine via @_ and return values don't affect anything either.

-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::add_print_handler(message, subroutine_name); -
-
- -
-

This function allows you to catch the system messages (those who generally start by three stars) and to execute a function each time an event appear. The events are those you can see in "Settings->Edit Events Texts". message is the name of the event (you can find it in the Edit Events box, "Events" column) , subroutine_name is the name of the function that will get messages. Be carrful: all the arguments are sent to function in $_[0] separated by spaces.

-
- - -
- - -
- -Output commands -
-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::print(text); -
-
- -
-This is a very simple routine. All it does is put the contents of the text string to the current window. The current window will be whichever window a command was typed into when called from a command handler, or in whichever window the message command is appropriate to if it is called from within a message handler. As with any perl program, newlines are not assumed, so don't forget to end the line with \n if you don't want things to look screwey. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::print_with_channel( text, channelname, servername ); -
-
- -
-This routine does the same thing as IRC::Print does, except it allows you to direct the output to a specific window. It returns 1 on success, 0 on fail. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::command(text); -
-
- -
-This routine allows you to execute commands in the current context. The text string containing the command will be parsed by everything that would normally parse a command, including your own command handlers, so be careful. Newlines are assumed, thankfully. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::command_with_server(text, servername); -
-
- -
-This routine allows you to specify the context of the server for which the command will be executed. It's not particularly useful unless you're managing a connection manually, yet the command still exists for it's usefulness in doing things like managing a bnc connection, etc. Newlines are assumed here as well. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::send_raw(text); -
-
- -
-This routine is very useful in that it allows you to send a string directly to the IRC server you are connected to. It is assumed that the server will be the one you first connected to if there is no clear context for the command, otherwise it will go to whatever server triggered the message handler or command handler window. You must specify newlines here always or you can be guaranteed that strange things will happen. The text message you specify should be a proper RAW IRC message, so don't play with it if you don't know how to do these. Additionally, while newlines are also not assumed here as with the IRC::print function, the RFC specifies that newlines are a CR+LF pair, even if most servers will accept a mere newline. It's best to play it safe and use \r\n instead of just \n. -
- - -
- - -
- -Information retrieval commands -
-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::get_info(integer); -
-
- -
-This function returns a bit of selected information depending on what the value of the integer is. -Here's a list of the currently supported values: -
  • 0 - xchat version
  • -
  • 1 - your nickname
  • -
  • 2 - channel
  • -
  • 3 - server
  • -
  • 4 - xchatdir
  • -
  • 5 - away status
  • -
  • 6 - network name
  • -
  • 7 - server hostname
  • -
  • 8 - channel topic
-

If you are requesting information that isn't available in the current context, then it will return null.

-

Any numbers other than the above will return an error message.

-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::get_prefs(var); -
-
- -
-This command lets you read the preferences that are set in the xchat configuration file. Just look at the xchat.conf dir to see what variables are available to use with this command. Returns the value of the variable requested or "Unknown Variable" if the variable isn't available. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::user_info( nickname ); -
-
- -
-Returns a flat list of information on the nickname specified consisting of... nickname, nick host, and whether they have op or voice in the current context. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::channel_list( ); -
-
- -
-This command returns a flat list which contains the current channel, server, and nickname for all channels the client is currently in. You'll have to break the list up into groups of three yourself. No arguments are necessary, or used [currently]. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::server_list( ); -
-
- -
-This command returns a flat list of servers. (Note, it is incompatible with xchat 1.8 in that it also returns a list of servers you are NOT connected to as well.) -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::user_list(channel, server); -
-
- -
-

Works very much like the dcc_list command below, except that is returns information about the users on the channel provided as first argument. The second argument is the server and is optional.

-

NOTE: If a user has both op and voice, only the op flag will be set to 1 by this command in xchat2.

-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::user_list_short(channel, server); -
-
- -
-

A simpler version of IRC::user_list that returns pairs of nick & user@host suitable for assigning to a hash.

-

NOTE: If a user has both op and voice, only the op flag will be set to 1 by this command in xchat2.

-
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::dcc_list( ); -
-
- -
-This command does essentially the same thing as channel_list, giving you the details of each DCC connection currently in progress. I have no idea exactly what is returned because I haven't had a chance to poke at this one much, but suffice it to say that it's a flat list, and the first time you play with it the meaning of the returned values should be pretty obvious. -
- - -
- - -
- -IRC::ignore_list( ); -
-
- -
-This command returns a flat list of the contents of your ignore list. You'll have to play with it a little as I have not had a chance to yet. Works basically the same as the other list commands. -
- - -
- - -
- -Unimplemented commands that were available in xchat 1.8.x -
-
- -
-add_user_list , sub_user_list , clear_user_list, notify_list were available in xchat 1.8.x but are not implemented in xchat 2 at this time. -

Introduction

-Plugins for HexChat are written in C. The interface aims to keep 100% -binary compatability. This means that if you upgrade HexChat, you will -not need to recompile your plugins, they'll continue to work. The -interface doesn't depend on any structures and offsets, so compiler -versions shouldn't have an impact either. The only real requirement of -an HexChat plugin, is that it define a "xchat_plugin_init" symbol. This -is your entry point function, see the example below. You should make -all your global variables and functions static, so that a symbol -is not exported. There is no harm in exporting these symbols, but they -are not necessary and only pollute the name-space. Plugins are compiled as shared objects -(.so files), for example: -

-Most UNIX systems:
-	gcc -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wall -O1 -shared -fPIC myplugin.c -o myplugin.so
-
-MacOSX:
-	gcc -no-cpp-precomp -g -O2 -Wall -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o myplugin.so myplugin.c
-
- -See the Windows section on how to compile a plugin -using visual studio. -

-All strings passed to and from plugins are encoded in UTF-8, regardless -of locale. What does this mean? -


- -

Sample plugin

-This simple plugin autoOps anyone who joins a channel you're in. It also -adds a new command /AUTOOPTOGGLE, which can be used to turn the feature ON -or OFF. Every HexChat plugin must define an xchat_plugin_init function, this -is the normal entry point. xchat_plugin_deinit is optional. -
-
-

What's word and word_eol?

- -They are arrays of strings. They contain the parameters the user entered -for the particular command. For example, if you executed: - -
-/command NICK hi there
-
-word[1] is command
-word[2] is NICK
-word[3] is hi
-word[4] is there
-
-word_eol[1] is command NICK hi there
-word_eol[2] is NICK hi there
-word_eol[3] is hi there
-word_eol[4] is there
-
-These arrays are simply provided for your convenience. You are NOT allowed -to alter them. Both arrays are limited to 32 elements (index 31). word[0] and -word_eol[0] are reserved and should not be read. -


-

Lists and Fields

-Lists of information (DCCs, Channels, Userlist etc) can be retreived -with xchat_list_get. All fields are READ ONLY and must be copied if -needed for a long time after calling xchat_list_str. The types of lists and fields available are: -
- -"channels" - list of channels, querys and their servers. -

Plugins on Windows (Win32)

-Yes, it can be done. All you need is either -MSVC (Visual Studio) or -MINGW, both these compilers are free to download. -Simply compile your plugin as a DLL. You should have the following files: - - -
-EXPORTS
-  xchat_plugin_init
-  xchat_plugin_deinit
-  xchat_plugin_get_info

Leave out xchat_plugin_deinit if you don't intend to define that -function. Then, to compile, type this at your command prompt:

-
-MSVC -
 cl -O1 -MD -G5 -DWIN32 -c plugin.c
-
 link /DLL /out:plugin.dll /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS plugin.obj /def:plugin.def /base:0x00d40000 -

-GCC (MINGW) -
 gcc -Wall -Os -DWIN32 -c plugin.c
-
 dllwrap --def plugin.def --dllname plugin.dll plugin.o

-
-
For a complete example, have a look at the source code of the DNS Plugin, which also contains a Makefile. -

-Caveat: Plugins compiled on Win32 MUST have a -global variable called ph, which is the plugin_handle, much like -in the sample plugin above. -

- -

Controlling the GUI

-

-A simple way to perform basic GUI functions is to use the /GUI command. -You can execute this command through the input-box, or by calling -xchat_command(ph, "GUI .....");. -

-
- - - - - - - - - - - -
GUI ATTACHSame function as "Attach Window" in the HexChat menu (new for 2.6.2).
GUI DETACHSame function as "Detach Tab" in the HexChat menu (new for 2.6.2).
GUI APPLYSimilar to clicking OK in the settings window. Execute this after /SET to activate GUI changes (new for 2.8.0)
GUI COLOR nChange the tab color of the current context, where n is a number from 0 to 3.
GUI FOCUSFocus the current window or tab.
GUI FLASHFlash the taskbar button. It will flash only if the window isn't focused and will stop when it is focused by the user.
GUI HIDEHide the main HexChat window completely (this is used by the Systray plugin).
GUI ICONIFYIconify (minimize to taskbar) the current HexChat window.
GUI MSGBOX textDisplays a asynchronous message box with your text (new for 2.4.5).
GUI SHOWShow the main HexChat window (if currently hidden).
-
-

-Note, the FLASH, ICONIFY and COLOR args were added in xchat 2.0.8, they -will not work with previous versions. -

-Starting from 2.4.5 you can add your own items to the menu bar. The menu command has this syntax: -
-	MENU [-eX] [-i<ICONFILE>] [-k<mod>,<key>] [-m] [-pX] [-rX,group] [-tX] {ADD|DEL} <path> [command] [unselect command]
-For example: -
-	MENU -p5 ADD FServe
-	MENU ADD "FServe/Show File List" "fs list"
-	MENU ADD FServe/-
-	MENU -k4,101 -t1 ADD "FServe/Enabled" "fs on" "fs off"
-	MENU -e0 ADD "FServe/Do Something" "fs action"
-
-In the example above, it would be recommended to execute "MENU DEL FServe" inside your xchat_plugin_deinit function. The special item with name "-" will add a separator line. -

-Parameters and flags: -
- - - - - - - - -
-eXSet enable flag to X. -e0 for disable, -e1 for enable. This lets you create a disabled (shaded) item.
-iFILEUse an icon filename FILE (new for 2.8.0). Not supported for toggles or radio items.
-k<mod>,<key>Specify a keyboard shortcut. "mod" is the modifier which is a bitwise OR of: 1-SHIFT 4-CTRL 8-ALT in decimal. "key" is the key value in decimal, e.g. -k5,101 would specify SHIFT-CTRL-E.
-mSpecify that this label should be treated as Pango Markup language. Since forward slash ("/") is already used in menu paths, you should replace closing tags with an ASCII 003 instead e.g.: xchat_command(ph, "MENU -m ADD \"<b>Bold Menu<\003b>\""); (new for 2.6.6).
-pXSpecify a menu item's position number. e.g. -p5 will cause the item to be inserted in the 5th place. New for 2.8.0: If the position is a negative number, it will be used as an offset from the bottom/right-most item.
-rX,groupSpecify a radio menu item, with initial state X and a group name (new for 2.8.0). The group name should be the exact label of another menu item (without the path) that this item will be grouped with. For radio items, only a select command will be executed (no unselect command).
-tXSpecify a toggle menu item with an initial state. -t0 for an "unticked" item and -t1 for a "ticked" item.
-
- -If you want to change an item's toggle state or enabled flag, -just ADD an item with exactly the same name and command and specify the -tX -eX parameters you need. -

It's also possible to add items to HexChat's existing menus, for example:
-
	MENU ADD "Settings/Sub Menu"
-	MENU -t0 ADD "Settings/Sub Menu/My Setting" myseton mysetoff
-
-However, internal names and layouts of HexChat's menu may change in the future, so use at own risk. -

-Here is an example of Radio items: -
	MENU ADD "Language"
-	MENU -r1,"English" ADD "Language/English" cmd1
-	MENU -r0,"English" ADD "Language/Spanish" cmd2
-	MENU -r0,"English" ADD "Language/German" cmd3
-
-From 2.8.0, you can also change menus other than the main one (i.e popup menus). Currently they are: -
- - - - - - - - -
Root NameMenu
$TABTab menu (right click a channel/query tab or treeview row)
$TRAYSystem Tray menu
$URLURL link menu
$NICKUserlist nick-name popup menu
$CHANMenu when clicking a channel in the text area (since 2.8.4)
-
-
-	Example: MENU -p0 ADD "$TAB/Cycle Channel" cycle
-
- -
-Starting from 2.8.0 you can manipulate HexChat's system tray icon using the /TRAY command: -
- Usage: 
- TRAY -f <timeout> <file1> [<file2>] Flash tray between two icons. Leave off file2 to use default HexChat icon.
- TRAY -f <filename>                  Set tray to a fixed icon.
- TRAY -i <number>                    Flash tray with an internal icon.
-                                     2=Message 5=Highlight 8=Private 11=File
- TRAY -t <text>                      Set the tray tooltip.
- TRAY -b <title> <text>              Set the tray balloon.
-                                     Supported on Windows from 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 on Linux (libnotify required on Linux).
-
-Filenames can be ICO or PNG format. PNG format is supported on Linux/BSD and Windows XP (but requires installation of GDI+ on Windows 2000). Set a timeout of -1 to use HexChat's default. -

- -

Handling UTF-8/Unicode strings

-

-The HexChat plugin API specifies that strings passed to and from HexChat must be encoded in UTF-8. -

-What does this mean for the plugin programmer? You just have to be a little careful when -passing strings obtained from IRC to system calls. For example, if you're writing a file-server -bot, someone might message you a filename. Can you pass this filename directly to open()? Maybe! -If you're lazy... The correct thing to do is to convert the string to "system locale encoding", -otherwise your plugin will fail on non-ascii characters. -

-Here are examples on how to do this conversion on Unix and Windows. In this example, someone will -CTCP you the message "SHOWFILE <filename>". -

-

-
-static int ctcp_cb(char *word[], char *word_eol[], void *userdata)
-{
-	if(strcmp(word[1], "SHOWFILE") == 0)
-	{
-		get_file_name(nick, word[2]);
-	}
-
-	return XCHAT_EAT_XCHAT;
-}
-
-static void get_file_name(char *nick, char *fname)
-{
-	char buf[256];
-	FILE *fp;
-
-	/* the fname is in UTF-8, because it came from the HexChat API */
-
#ifdef _WIN32
-	wchar_t wide_name[MAX_PATH];
-
-	/* convert UTF-8 to WIDECHARs (aka UTF-16LE) */
-	if (MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, fname, -1, wide_name, MAX_PATH) < 1)
-		return;
-
-	/* now we have WIDECHARs, so we can _wopen() or CreateFileW(). */
-	/* _wfopen actually requires NT4, Win2000, XP or newer. */
-	fp = _wfopen(wide_name, "r");
-
#else
-	char *loc_name;
-
-	/* convert UTF-8 to System Encoding */
-	loc_name = g_filename_from_utf8(fname, -1, 0, 0, 0);
-	if(!loc_name)
-		return;
-
-	/* now open using the system's encoding */
-	fp = fopen(loc_name, "r");
-	g_free(loc_name);
-
#endif
-	if (fp)
-	{
-		while (fgets (buf, sizeof(buf), fp))
-		{
-			/* send every line to the user that requested it */
-			xchat_commandf (ph, "QUOTE NOTICE %s :%s", nick, buf);
-		}
-		fclose (fp);
-	}
-}

Not because it's something -hard to understand, but because you'll understand better the API -explanations if you know what I'm talking about. - -You can think about a context as an xchat channel, server, or query tab. -Each of these tabs, has its own context, and is related to a given -server and channel (queries are a special kind of channel). - -The *current* context is the one where xchat passes control to the -module. For example, when xchat receives a command in a specific -channel, and you have asked xchat to tell you about this event, the -current context will be set to this channel before your module is -called. - -Hello world ------------ - -Here is the traditional *hello world* example. - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - __module_name__ = "helloworld" - __module_version__ = "1.0" - __module_description__ = "Python module example" - - print "Hello world!" -~~~~~~~~~~ - -This module will print "Hello world!" in the xchat console, and sleep -forever until it's unloaded. It's a simple module, but already -introduces some concepts. Notice how the module information is set. This -information is obligatory, and will be shown when listing the loaded -xchat modules. - -xchat module ------------- - -The xchat module is your passport to every xchat functionality offered -by the Python plugin interface. Here's a simple example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - import xchat - xchat.prnt("Hi everyone!") -~~~~~~~~~~ - -The following functions are available in the xchat module. - -### Generic functions - -#### xchat.prnt(string) - -This function will print string in the current context. It's mainly -useful as a parameter to pass to some other function, since the usual -print statement will have the same results. You have a usage example -above. - -This function is badly -named because `"print"` is a reserved keyword of the Python language. - -#### xchat.emit_print(event_name, *args) - -This function will generate a *print event* with the given arguments. To -check which events are available, and the number and meaning of -arguments, have a look at the `Settings > Lists > Text Events` window. -Here is one example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - xchat.emit_print("Channel Message", "John", "Hi there", "@") -~~~~~~~~~~` - -#### xchat.command(string) - -Execute the given command in the current context. This has the same -results as executing a command in the xchat window, but notice that the -`/` prefix is not used. Here is an example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - xchat.command("server irc.openprojects.net") -~~~~~~~~~~ - -#### xchat.nickcmp(s1, s2) - -This function will do an RFC1459 compliant string comparing between `s1` -and `s2`, and is useful to compare channels and nicknames. It returns an -integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if `s1` is found, -respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than `s2`. For -example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - if xchat.nickcmp(nick, "mynick") == 0: - print "They are the same!" -~~~~~~~~~~ - -### Information retreiving functions - -#### xchat.get_info(type) - -Retrieve the information specified by the `type` string in the current -context. At the moment of this writing, the following information types -are available to be queried: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -*Type* *Description* --------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -away Away reason or None if you are not away. - -channels Channel of the current context. - -hostname Real hostname of the server you connected to. - -network Current network name or None. - -nick Your current nick name. - -server Current server name (what the server claims to be) or None if you are not connected. - -topic Current channel topic. - -version hexchat version number. - -xchatdir hexchat config directory e.g.: "~/.config/hexchat". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - if xchat.get_info("server") is None: - xchat.prnt("Not connected!") -~~~~~~~~~~ - -#### xchat.get_prefs(name) - -Retrieve the xchat setting information specified by the `name` string, -as available by the `/set` command. For example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - print "Current preferred nick:", xchat.get_prefs("irc_nick1") -~~~~~~~~~~ - -#### xchat.get_list(type) - -With this function you may retrieve a list containing the selected -information from the current context, like a DCC list, a channel list, a -user list, etc. Each list item will have its attributes set dynamically -depending on the information provided by the list type. - -The example below is a rewrite of the example provided with xchat's -plugin API documentation. It prints a list of every DCC transfer -happening at the moment. Notice how similar the interface is to the C -API provided by xchat. - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - list = xchat.get_list("dcc") - if list: - print "--- DCC LIST ------------------" - print "File To/From KB/s Position" - for i in list: - print "%6s %10s %.2f %d" % (i.file, i.nick, i.cps/1024, i.pos) -~~~~~~~~~~ - -Below you will find what each list type has to offer. - -This information was -taken from xchat's plugin documentation. You may find any types not -listed here, if they exist at all, in an updated xchat documentation. -Any list types accepted by xchat should be dynamically accepted by the -Python plugin interface. - -##### channels - -The channels list type gives you access to the channels, queries and -their servers. The folloing attributes are available in each list item: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- -*Type* *Description* -------- ------------------------------------------------------- -channel Channel or query name. - -context A context object, giving access to that channel/server. - -network Network name to which this channel belongs. - -server Server name to which this channel belongs. - -type Type of context (1=Server, 2=Channel, 3=Dialog). -------------------------------------------------------------------- - -##### dcc - -The dcc list type gives you access to a list of DCC file transfers. The -following attributes are available in each list item: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -*Type* *Description* ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -address32 Address of the remote user (ipv4 address, as an int). - -cps Bytes per second (speed). - -destfile Destination full pathname. - -file Filename. - -nick Nickname of person who the file is from/to. - -port TCP port number. - -pos Bytes sent/received. - -resume Point at which this file was resumed (or zero if it was not resumed). - -size File size in bytes. - -status DCC status (queued=0, active=1, failed=2, done=3, connecting=4, aborted=5). - -type DCC type (send=0, receive=1, chatrecv=2, chatsend=3). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -##### users - -The users list type gives you access to a list of users in the current -channel. The following attributes are available in each list item: - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -*Type* *Description* ------- -------------------------------------------------------- -nick Nick name. - -host Host name in the form user@host (or None, if not known). - -prefix Prefix character, .e.g: @ or +. Points to a single char. ----------------------------------------------------------------- - -##### ignore - -The ignore list type gives you access to the current ignored list. The -following attributes are available in each list item: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -*Type* *Description* ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -mask Ignore mask (for example, "*!*@*.aol.com"). - -flags Bit field of flags (0=private, 1=notice, 2=channel, 3=ctcp, 4=invite, 5=unignore, 6=nosave, 7=dcc). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -### Hook functions - -These functions allow one to hook into xchat events. - -#### Priorities - -When a priority keyword parameter is accepted, it means that this -callback may be hooked with five different priorities: PRI_HIGHEST, -PRI_HIGH, PRI_NORM, PRI_LOW, and PRI_LOWEST. The usage of these -constants, which are available in the xchat module, will define the -order in which your plugin will be called. Most of the time, you won't -want to change its default value (PRI_NORM). - -#### Parameters word and word_eol - -These parameters, when available in a callback, are lists of strings -which contain the parameters the user entered for the particular -command. For example, if you executed: - -> /command NICK Hi there! - -- **word[0]** is `command` -- **word[1]** is `NICK` -- **word[2]** is `Hi` -- **word[3]** is `there!` -- **word_eol[0]** is `command NICK Hi there!` -- **word_eol[1]** is `NICK Hi there!` -- **word_eol[2]** is `Hi there!` -- **word_eol[3]** is `there!` - -#### Parameter userdata - -The parameter userdata, if given, allows you to pass a custom object to -your callback. - -#### Callback return constants (EAT_*) - -When a callback is supposed to return one of the EAT_* macros, it is -able control how xchat will proceed after the callback returns. These -are the available constants, and their meanings: - ---------------------------------------------------------- -*Constant* *Description* ------------ --------------------------------------------- -EAT_PLUGIN Don't let any other plugin receive this event. - -EAT_XCHAT Don't let xchat treat this event as usual. - -EAT_ALL Eat the event completely. - -EAT_NONE Let everything happen as usual. ---------------------------------------------------------- - -Returning `None` is the same as returning `EAT_NONE`. - -#### xchat.hook_command(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM, help=None) - -This function allows you to hook into the name xchat command. It means -that everytime you type `/name ...`, `callback` will be called. -Parameters `userdata` and `priority` have their meanings explained -above, and the parameter help, if given, allows you to pass a help text -which will be shown when `/help name` is executed. This function returns -a hook handler which may be used in the `xchat.unhook()` function. For -example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - def onotice_cb(word, word_eol, userdata): - if len(word) < 2: - print "Second arg must be the message!" - else: - xchat.command("NOTICE @%s %s" % (xchat.get_info("channel"), word_eol[1])) - return xchat.EAT_ALL - - xchat.hook_command("ONOTICE", onotice_cb, help="/ONOTICE Sends a notice to all ops") -~~~~~~~~~~ - -You may return one of `EAT_*` constants in the callback, to control -xchat's behavior, as explained above. - -#### xchat.hook_print(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM) - -This function allows you to register a callback to trap any print -events. The event names are available in the *Edit Event Texts* window. -Parameters `userdata` and `priority` have their meanings explained -above. This function returns a hook handler which may be used in the -`xchat.unhook()` function. For example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - def youpart_cb(word, word_eol, userdata): - print "You have left channel", word[2] - return xchat.EAT_XCHAT # Don't let xchat do its normal printing - - xchat.hook_print("You Part", youpart_cb) -~~~~~~~~~~ - -You may return one of `EAT_*` constants in the callback, to control -xchat's behavior, as explained above. - -#### xchat.hook_server(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM) - -This function allows you to register a callback to be called when a -certain server event occurs. You can use this to trap `PRIVMSG`, -`NOTICE`, `PART`, a server numeric, etc. Parameters `userdata` and -`priority` have their meanings explained above. This function returns a -hook handler which may be used in the `xchat.unhook()` function. For -example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - def kick_cb(word, word_eol, userdata): - print "%s was kicked from %s (%s)" % (word[3], word[2], word_eol[4]) - # Don't eat this event, let other plugins and xchat see it too - return xchat.EAT_NONE - - xchat.hook_server("KICK", kick_cb) -~~~~~~~~~~ - -You may return one of `EAT_*` constants in the callback, to control -xchat's behavior, as explained above. - -#### xchat.hook_timer(timeout, callback, userdata=None) - -This function allows you to register a callback to be called every -timeout milliseconds. Parameters userdata and priority have their -meanings explained above. This function returns a hook handler which may -be used in the `xchat.unhook()` function. For example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - myhook = None - - def stop_cb(word, word_eol, userdata): - global myhook - if myhook is not None: - xchat.unhook(myhook) - myhook = None - print "Timeout removed!" - - def timeout_cb(userdata): - print "Annoying message every 5 seconds! Type /STOP to stop it." - return 1 # Keep the timeout going - - myhook = xchat.hook_timer(5000, timeout_cb) - xchat.hook_command("STOP", stop_cb) -~~~~~~~~~~ - -If you return a true value from the callback, the timer will be keeped, -otherwise it is removed. - -#### xchat.hook_unload(timeout, callback, userdata=None) - -This function allows you to register a callback to be called when the -plugin is going to be unloaded. Parameters `userdata` and `priority` -have their meanings explained above. This function returns a hook -handler which may be used in the `xchat.unhook()` function. For example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - def unload_cb(userdata): - print "We're being unloaded!" - - xchat.hook_unload(unload_cb) -~~~~~~~~~~ - -#### xchat.unhook(handler) - -Unhooks any hook registered with the hook functions above. - -### Plugin preferences - -You can use pluginpref to easily store and retrieve settings. This was added in the Python plugin version 0.9 - -#### xchat.set_pluginpref(name, value) - -If neccessary creates a .conf file in the HexChat config dir named addon_python.conf and stores the value in it. Returns 1 on success 0 on failure. - -> Note: Until the plugin uses different a conf file per script it's recommened to use 'PluginName-SettingName' to avoid conflicts. - -#### xchat.get_pluginpref(name) - -This will return the value of the variable of that name. If there is none by this name it will return `None`. Numbers are always returned as Integers. - -#### xchat.del_pluginpref(name) - -Deletes specified variable. Returns 1 on success (or never existing), 0 on failure. - -#### xchat.list_pluginpref() - -Returns a list of all currently set preferences. - -### Context handling - -Below you will find information about how to work with contexts. - -#### Context objects - -As explained in the Context theory session above, contexts give access -to a specific channel/query/server tab of xchat. Every function -available in the xchat module will be evaluated in the current context, -which will be specified by xchat itself before passing control to the -module. Sometimes you may want to work in a specific context, and that's -where context objects come into play. - -You may create a context object using the `xchat.get_context()` or -`xchat.find_context()`, functions as explained below, or trough the -`xchat.get_list()` function, as explained in its respective session. - -Each context object offers the following methods: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -*Methods* *Description* ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -context.set() Changes the current context to be the one represented by this context object. - -context.prnt(string) Does the same as the xchat.prnt() function, but in the given context. - -context.emit_print(event_name, *args) Does the same as the emit_print() function, but in the given context. - -context.command(string) Does the same as the xchat.command() function, but in the given context. - -context.get_info(type) Does the same as the xchat.get_info() function, but in the given context. - -context.get_list(type) Does the same as the xchat.get_list() function, but in the given context. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -#### xchat.get_context() - -Returns a context object corresponding the the current context. - -#### xchat.find_context(server=None, channel=None) - -Finds a context based on a channel and servername. If `server` is -`None`, it finds any channel (or query) by the given name. If `channel` -is `None`, it finds the front-most tab/window of the given server. For -example: - -~~~~~~~~~~ {.python} - cnc = xchat.find_context(channel='#conectiva') - cnc.command('whois niemeyer') -~~~~~~~~~~ - -* * * * * - -Original Author: Gustavo Niemeyer [gustavo@niemeyer.net](mailto:gustavo@niemeyer.net) - -For purty html: `pandoc --toc python.md -s --highlight-style haddock -o python.html` diff --git a/plugins/tcl/README b/plugins/tcl/README deleted file mode 100644 index e46635ef..00000000 --- a/plugins/tcl/README +++ /dev/null @@ -1,55 +0,0 @@ -Please read this document before asking questions. - -(1) WHAT IS THE TCL PLUGIN? - - The XChat Tcl Plugin adds the complete Tcl scripting language to the - XChat 1.9.x and 2.x IRC client.
