53
54Executes a BarnOwl command in the same manner as if the user had
55executed it at the BarnOwl command prompt. If the command returns a
56value, return it as a string, otherwise return undef.
57
58=head2 getcurmsg
59
60Returns the current message as a C<BarnOwl::Message> subclass, or
61undef if there is no message selected
62
63=head2 getnumcols
64
65Returns the width of the display window BarnOwl is currently using
66
67=head2 getidletime

84command line, and C<MESSAGE> is the zephyr body to send.
85
86=head2 ztext_stylestrip STRING
87
88Strips zephyr formatting from a string and returns the result
89
90=head2 zephyr_getsubs

92Returns the list of subscription triples <class,instance,recipient>,
93separated by newlines.
94
95=head2 queue_message MESSAGE

117
118Like C<start_question>, but displays C<PROMPT> on a line of its own

125modules are stored
126
127=head2 get_config_dir

147
148Logs a debugging message to BarnOwl's debug log
149
150=head2 getnumcolors
151
152Returns the number of colors this BarnOwl is capable of displaying
153
154=head2 add_dispatch FD CALLBACK
155
156Adds a file descriptor to C<BarnOwl>'s internal C<select()>
157loop. C<CALLBACK> will be invoked whenever data is available to be
158read from C<FD>.
159
160=head2 remove_dispatch FD
161
162Remove a file descriptor previously registered via C<add_dispatch>
163
164=head2 create_style NAME OBJECT
