26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28The BarnOwl module contains the core of BarnOwl's perl
29bindings. Source in this module is also run at startup to bootstrap
30barnowl by defining things like the default style.
31
32=for NOTE
33These following functions are defined in perlglue.xs. Keep the
34documentation here in sync with the user-visible commands defined
35there!
36
37=head2 command STRING
38
39Executes a BarnOwl command in the same manner as if the user had
40executed it at the BarnOwl command prompt. If the command returns a
41value, return it as a string, otherwise return undef.
42
43=head2 getcurmsg
44
45Returns the current message as a C<BarnOwl::Message> subclass, or
46undef if there is no message selected
47
48=head2 getnumcols
49
50Returns the width of the display window BarnOwl is currently using
51
52=head2 getidletime
53
54Returns the length of time since the user has pressed a key, in
55seconds.
56
57=head2 zephyr_getrealm

59Returns the zephyr realm barnowl is running in
60
61=head2 zephyr_getsender
62
63Returns the fully-qualified name of the zephyr sender barnowl is
64running as, e.g. C<nelhage@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>
65
66=head2 zephyr_zwrite COMMAND MESSAGE
67
68Sends a zephyr programmatically. C<COMMAND> should be a C<zwrite>
69command line, and C<MESSAGE> is the zephyr body to send.
70
71=head2 ztext_stylestrip STRING
72
73Strips zephyr formatting from a string and returns the result
74
75=head2 zephyr_getsubs
76
77Returns the list of subscription triples <class,instance,recipient>,
78separated by newlines.
79
80=head2 queue_message MESSAGE
81
82Enqueue a message in the BarnOwl message list, logging it and
83processing it appropriately. C<MESSAGE> should be an instance of
84BarnOwl::Message or a subclass.
85
86=head2 admin_message HEADER BODY
87
88Display a BarnOwl B<Admin> message, with the given header and body.
89
90=head2 start_question PROMPT CALLBACK
91
92Displays C<PROMPT> on the screen and lets the user enter a line of
93text, and calls C<CALLBACK>, which must be a perl subroutine
94reference, with the text the user entered
95
96=head2 start_password PROMPT CALLBACK
97
98Like C<start_question>, but echoes the user's input as C<*>s when they
99input.
100
101=head2 start_edit_win PROMPT CALLBACK
102
103Like C<start_question>, but displays C<PROMPT> on a line of its own
104and opens the editwin. If the user cancels the edit win, C<CALLBACK>
105is not invoked.
106
107=head2 get_data_dir
108
109Returns the BarnOwl system data directory, where system libraries and
110modules are stored
111
112=head2 get_config_dir
113
114Returns the BarnOwl user configuration directory, where user modules
115and configuration are stored (by default, C<$HOME/.owl>)
116
117=head2 popless_text TEXT
118
119Show a popup window containing the given C<TEXT>
120
121=head2 popless_ztext TEXT

123Show a popup window containing the provided zephyr-formatted C<TEXT>
124
125=head2 error STRING
126
127Reports an error and log it in `show errors'. Note that in any
128callback or hook called in perl code from BarnOwl, a C<die> will be
129caught and passed to C<error>.
130
131=head2 getnumcolors
132
133Returns the number of colors this BarnOwl is capable of displaying
134
135=head2 add_dispatch FD CALLBACK
136
137Adds a file descriptor to C<BarnOwl>'s internal C<select()>
138loop. C<CALLBACK> will be invoked whenever data is available to be
139read from C<FD>.
140
141=head2 remove_dispatch FD
142
143Remove a file descriptor previously registered via C<add_dispatch>
144
145=head2 create_style NAME OBJECT
146
147Creates a new barnowl style with the given NAME defined by the given
148object. The object must have a C<description> method which returns a
149string description of the style, and a and C<format_message> method
150which accepts a C<BarnOwl::Message> object and returns a string that
151is the result of formatting the message for display.
152

156# switch, if present.

159if(!$configfile && -f $ENV{HOME} . "/.barnowlconf") {

161}

165sub _receive_msg_legacy_wrap {
166    my ($m) = @_;
167    $m->legacy_populate_global();
168    return &BarnOwl::Hooks::_receive_msg($m);
169}
170
171=head2 AUTOLOAD
172
173BarnOwl.pm has a C<AUTOLOAD> method that translates unused names in
174the BarnOwl:: namespace to a call to BarnOwl::command() with that
175command. Underscores are also translated to C<->s, so you can do
176e.g. C<BarnOwl::start_command()> and it will be translated into
177C<start-command>.
178
179So, if you're looking for functionality that you can't find in the
180perl interface, check C<:show commands> or C<commands.c> in the
181BarnOwl source tree -- there's a good chance it exists as a BarnOwl
182command.
183
184=head3 BUGS
185
186There are horrible quoting issues here. The AUTOLOAD simple joins your
187commands with spaces and passes them unmodified to C<::command>
