SIGNAL DEFINITIONS

The following signals are categorised as in the original documentation, but have been revised to note Perl variable types and class names.

Arguments are passed to signal handlers in the usual way, via @_.

Core

  • gui exit

    • None

  • gui dialog

    • string $type

    • string $text

  • "send command"

    Arguments:

    Emitted when a command is entered via the GUI, or by scripts via Irssi::command.

chat-protocols.c

TODO: What are CHAT_PROTOCOL_REC types?

  • "chat protocol created"

    • CHAT_PROTOCOL_REC $protocol

  • "chat protocol updated"

    • CHAT_PROTOCOL_REC $protocol

  • "chat protocol destroyed"

    • CHAT_PROTOCOL_REC $protocol

channels.c

chatnets.c

  • "chatnet created"

    • CHATNET_REC $chatnet

  • "chatnet destroyed"

    • CHATNET_REC $chatnet

commands.c

  • "commandlist new"

  • "commandlist remove"

  • "error command"

    Arguments:

    • int $err

    • string $cmd

    Notes: Emitted by default command at the end of the signal chain.

    $err is an enum stored in core/commands.h. Reproduced here:

    CMDERR_OPTION_UNKNOWN     = -3, /* unknown -option */
CMDERR_OPTION_AMBIGUOUS   = -2, /* ambiguous -option */
CMDERR_OPTION_ARG_MISSING = -1, /* argument missing for -option */

CMDERR_UNKNOWN,           = 0   /* unknown command */
CMDERR_AMBIGUOUS,         = 1   /* ambiguous command */

CMDERR_ERRNO,             = 2   /* get the error from errno */
CMDERR_NOT_ENOUGH_PARAMS, = 3   /* not enough parameters given */
CMDERR_NOT_CONNECTED,     = 4   /* not connected to server */
CMDERR_NOT_JOINED,        = 5   /* not joined to any channels in this window */
CMDERR_CHAN_NOT_FOUND,    = 6   /* channel not found */
CMDERR_CHAN_NOT_SYNCED,   = 7   /* channel not fully synchronized yet */
CMDERR_ILLEGAL_PROTO,     = 8   /* requires different chat protocol than the active server */
CMDERR_NOT_GOOD_IDEA,     = 9   /* not good idea to do, -yes overrides this */
CMDERR_INVALID_TIME,      = 10  /* invalid time specification */
CMDERR_INVALID_CHARSET,   = 11  /* invalid charset specification */
CMDERR_EVAL_MAX_RECURSE,  = 12  /* eval hit recursion limit */
CMDERR_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND  = 13  /* program not found */

  • "send command"

    Arguments:

    Emitted when a line is submitted from the input field which begins with one of the characters in /SET cmdchars.

    It is emitted first in the command handling chain, before any subsequent command <cmd<gt> signals. The $args parameter contains the full input string.

  • "send text"

    Arguments:

    Emitted when a line is submitted from the input field which does not begin with one of the characters in /SET cmdchars. The $line parameter contains the full input line.

  • "command <cmd>"

    Arguments:

    Emitted when a command matching <cmd> is entered. $args contains only the arguments to the command, having stripped the $cmdchar . $cmd.

  • "default command"

    Arguments:

    Emitted when a line is submitted from the input field which begins with a $cmdchar, but is not a recognised command.

Display (FE) Common

Requires to work properly:

  • "gui print text"

    This signal is called multiple times for a given print operation, in a fashion similar to run-length coding. A single line of printed output which varies in colour may emit this signal multiple times, once for each colour change. The $fg, $bg, and $flags contain the formatting information for $text.

  • "gui print text finished"

    (Can be used to determine when all "gui print text"s are sent (not required))

Provides signals:

completion.c

  • "complete word"

    • arrayref of strings $strings_ref

      An arrayref which can be modified to add additional completion candidates.

      For example:

      push @$strings_ref, "another_candidate";

    • Irssi::Window $window

    • string $word

      The prefix of the word currently being typed.

    • string $linestart

      The contents of the input line up to (but not including) the current word prefix $word.

    • int $want_space

      A scalar reference which can be set to indicate if tab completion of these candidates should be appended with a space.

gui-readline.c

  • "gui key pressed"

    Arguments:

    • int $key

    Notes:

    Ordinary keys a-zA-Z are their ordinal (ascii) equivalents.

    Ctrl-key begins at 1 (C-a), but skips 13?, C-j and C-m both give the same as RET (10). Tab and C-i are equivalent (9). C-o does not appear to send an observable sequence.

    BS sends 127.

    meta-<key> sends a 27 (ESC) followed by the original key value.

    Arrow keys send usual meta-stuff (\e[ABCD).
