[[introduction]]
== Introduction
This document is the specification of WeeChat Relay protocol: the protocol used
to relay WeeChat data to clients, which are mostly remote interfaces.
[[terminology]]
=== Terminology
The following terms are used in this document:
* _relay_: this is the WeeChat with relay plugin, which acts as "server" and
allows _clients_ to connect
* _client_: this is another software, connected to _relay_ via a network
connection; in most cases, this _client_ is a remote interface.
[[network_diagram]]
=== Network diagram
The _clients_ are connected to _relay_ like shown in this diagram:

....
[NOTE]
All clients here are clients using _weechat_ protocol in _relay_ plugin. The
_relay_ plugin also allows IRC clients, then _relay_ plugin acts as an
_IRC proxy_ (not described in this document).
[[protocol_generalities]]
== Protocol generalities
* Connections from _client_ to _relay_ are made using TCP sockets on IP/port
used by _relay_ plugin to listen to new connections.
* Number of _clients_ is limited by the option _relay.network.max_clients_.
* Each _client_ is independent from other clients.
* Messages from _client_ to _relay_ are called _commands_, they are sent as text
(a string).
* Messages from _relay_ to _client_ are called _messages_, they are sent as
binary data.
[[commands]]
== Commands (client → relay)
Commands have format: "(id) command arguments\n".
Fields are:
* _id_: optional message identifier that will be sent in answer from _relay_;
it must be enclosed in parentheses, and must not start with an underscore
("_") (ids starting with underscore are reserved for WeeChat _event_ messages)
* _command_: a command (see table below)
* _arguments_: optional arguments for command (many arguments are separated by
spaces).
List of available commands (detail in next chapters):
[width="80%",cols="^3m,14",options="header"]
|===
| Command | Description
| init | Initialize connection with _relay_
| hdata | Request a _hdata_
| info | Request an _info_
| infolist | Request an _infolist_
| nicklist | Request a _nicklist_
| input | Send data to a buffer (text or command)
| sync | Synchronize buffer(s) (get updates for buffer(s))
| desync | Desynchronize buffer(s) (stop updates for buffer(s))
| quit | Disconnect from _relay_
|===
[[command_init]]
=== init
Initialize connection with _relay_. This must be first command sent to _relay_.
If not sent, _relay_ will close connection on first command received, without
warning.
Syntax:
----
init [<option>=<value>,[<option>=<value>,...]]
----
Arguments:
* _option_: one of following options:
** _password_: password used to authenticate on _relay_ (option
_relay.network.password_ in WeeChat)
** _compression_: compression type:
*** _zlib_: enable _zlib_ compression for messages sent by _relay_
*** _off_: disable compression
[NOTE]
Compression _zlib_ is enabled by default if _relay_ supports _zlib_ compression.
Examples:
----
# initialize and use zlib compression by default (if WeeChat supports it)
init password=mypass
# initialize and disable compression
init password=mypass,compression=off
----
[[command_hdata]]
=== hdata
Request a _hdata_.
Syntax:
----
(id) hdata <path> [<keys>]
----
Arguments:
* _path_: path to a hdata, with format: "hdata:pointer/var/var/.../var", the
last var is the hdata returned:
** _hdata_: name of hdata
** _pointer_: pointer ("0x12345") or list name (for example: "gui_buffers")
(count allowed, see below)
** _var_: a variable name in parent hdata (previous name in path)
(count allowed, see below)
* _keys_: comma-separated list of keys to return in hdata (if not specified, all
keys are returned, which is not recommended on large hdata structures)
A count is allowed after pointer and variables, with format "(N)". Possible
values are:
* positive number: iterate using next element, N times
* negative number: iterate using previous element, N times
* _*_: iterate using next element, until end of list
Examples:
----
# request all buffers, hdata of type "buffer" is returned
# keys "number" and "name" are returned for each buffer
hdata buffer:gui_buffers(*) number,name
# request all lines of all buffers, hdata of type "line_data" is returned
# all keys are returned
hdata buffer:gui_buffers(*)/lines/first_line(*)/data
# request full name of first buffer
hdata buffer:gui_buffers full_name
----
[[command_info]]
=== info
Request an _info_.
Syntax:
----
(id) info <name>
----
Arguments:
* _name_: name of info to retrieve
Example:
----
info version
----
[[command_infolist]]
=== infolist
Request an _infolist_.
[IMPORTANT]
Content of infolist is a duplication of actual data. Wherever possible, use
command <<command_hdata,hdata>>, which is direct access to data (it is
faster, uses less memory and returns smaller objects in message).
Syntax:
----
(id) infolist <name> [<pointer> [<arguments>]]
----
Arguments:
* _name_: name of infolist to retrieve
* _pointer_: pointer (optional)
* _arguments_: arguments (optional)
Example:
----
infolist buffer
----
[[command_nicklist]]
=== nicklist
Request a _nicklist_, for one or all buffers.
Syntax:
----
(id) nicklist [<buffer>]
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (_0x12345_) or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.freenode.#weechat_)
Examples:
----
# request nicklist for all buffers
nicklist
# request nicklist for irc.freenode.#weechat
nicklist irc.freenode.#weechat
----
[[command_input]]
=== input
Send data to a buffer.
Syntax:
----
input <buffer> <data>
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (_0x12345_) or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.freenode.#weechat_)
* _data_: data to send to buffer: if beginning by `/`, this will be executed as
a command on buffer, otherwise text is sent as input of buffer
Examples:
----
input core.weechat /help filter
input irc.freenode.#weechat hello!
----
[[command_sync]]
=== sync
_Updated in version 0.4.1._
Synchronize one or more buffers, to get updates.
[IMPORTANT]
It is recommended to send this command immediately after you asked
data for buffers (lines, ...). It can be send in same message (after a new
line char: "\n").
Syntax:
----
sync [<buffer>[,<buffer>...] <option>[,<option>...]]
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (_0x12345_) or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.freenode.#weechat_); name "*" can be used to
specify all buffers
* _options_: one of following keywords, separated by commas (default is
_buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist_ for "*" and _buffer,nicklist_ for a buffer):
** _buffers_: receive signals about buffers (opened/closed, moved, renamed,
merged/unmerged, hidden/unhidden); this can be used only with name "*"
_(WeeChat ≥ 0.4.1)_
** _upgrade_: receive signals about WeeChat upgrade (upgrade, upgrade ended);
this can be used only with name "*"
_(WeeChat ≥ 0.4.1)_
** _buffer_: receive signals about buffer (new lines, type changed, title
changed, local variable added/removed, and same signals as _buffers_ for the
buffer) _(updated in version 0.4.1)_
** _nicklist_: receive nicklist after changes
Examples:
----
# synchronize all buffers with nicklist
# (the 3 commands are equivalent, but the first one is recommended
# for compatibility with future versions)
sync
sync *
sync * buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist
# synchronize core buffer
sync core.buffer
# synchronize #weechat channel, without nicklist
sync irc.freenode.#weechat buffer
# get general signals + all signals for #weechat channel
sync * buffers,upgrade
sync irc.freenode.#weechat
----
[[command_desync]]
=== desync
_Updated in version 0.4.1._
Desynchronize one or more buffers, to stop updates.
[NOTE]
This will remove _options_ for buffers. If some options are still active for
buffers, the client will still receive updates for these buffers.
Syntax:
----
desync [<buffer>[,<buffer>...] <option>[,<option>...]]
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (_0x12345_) or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.freenode.#weechat_); name "*" can be used to
specify all buffers
* _options_: one of following keywords, separated by commas (default is
_buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist_ for "*" and _buffer,nicklist_ for a buffer);
see <<command_sync,command sync>> for values
[NOTE]
When using buffer "*", the other buffers synchronized (using a name) are kept. +
So if you send: "sync *", then "sync irc.freenode.#weechat", then "desync *",
the updates on #weechat channel will still be sent by WeeChat (you must remove
it explicitly to stop updates).
Examples:
----
# desynchronize all buffers
# (the 3 commands are equivalent, but the first one is recommended
# for compatibility with future versions)
desync
desync *
desync * buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist
# desynchronize nicklist for #weechat channel (keep buffer updates)
desync irc.freenode.#weechat nicklist
# desynchronize #weechat channel
desync irc.freenode.#weechat
----
[[command_test]]
=== test
Test command: WeeChat will reply with various different objects.
This command is useful to test the decoding of binary objects returned by
WeeChat.
[IMPORTANT]
You must not use the pointer values returned by this command, they are not
valid. This command must be used only to test decoding of a message sent by
WeeChat.
Syntax:
----
test
----
Example:
----
test
----
Returned objects (in this order):
[width="80%",cols="^3,3m,5m",options="header"]

[[command_ping]]
=== ping
_WeeChat ≥ 0.4.2._
Send a ping to WeeChat which will reply with a message "_pong" and same arguments.
This command is useful to test that connection with WeeChat is still alive and
measure the response time.
Syntax:
----
ping [<arguments>]
----
Example:
----
ping 1370802127000
----
[[command_quit]]
=== quit
Disconnect from _relay_.
Syntax:

[[messages]]
== Messages (relay → client)
Messages are sent as binary data, using following format (with size in bytes):
....
┌────────╥─────────────╥────╥────────┬──────────╥───────╥────────┬──────────┐
│ length ║ compression ║ id ║ type 1 │ object 1 ║ ... ║ type N │ object N │
└────────╨─────────────╨────╨────────┴──────────╨───────╨────────┴──────────┘
└──────┘ └───────────┘ └──┘ └──────┘ └────────┘ └──────┘ └────────┘
4 1 ?? 3 ?? 3 ??
└────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
header (5) compressed data (??)
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
_length_ bytes
....
* _length_ (unsigned integer): number of bytes of whole message (including
this field)
* _compression_ (byte): flag:
** _0x00_: following data is not compressed
** _0x01_: following data is compressed with _zlib_
* _id_ (string): identifier sent by client (before command name); it can be
empty (string with zero length and no content) if no identifier was given in
command
* _type_ (3 chars): a type: 3 letters (see table below)
* _object_: an object (see table below)
[[message_compression]]
=== Compression
If flag _compression_ is equal to 0x01, then *all* data after is compressed
with _zlib_, and therefore must be uncompressed before being processed.
[[message_identifier]]
=== Identifier
There are two types of identifiers (_id_):
* _id_ sent by _client_: _relay_ will answer with same _id_ in its answer
* _id_ of an event: on some events, _relay_ will send message to _client_ using
a specific _id_, beginning with underscore (see table below)
WeeChat reserved identifiers:
