= WeeChat plugin API reference :author: Sébastien Helleu :email: flashcode@flashtux.org :lang: en :toc: left :toclevels: 4 :sectnums: :sectnumlevels: 3 :docinfo1: This manual documents WeeChat chat client, it is part of WeeChat. Latest version of this document can be found on this page: https://weechat.org/doc [[introduction]] == Introduction WeeChat (Wee Enhanced Environment for Chat) is a free chat client, fast and light, designed for many operating systems. This manual documents WeeChat plugins API, used by C plugins to interact with WeeChat core. [[plugins_in_weechat]] == Plugins in WeeChat A plugin is a C program which can call WeeChat functions defined in an interface. This C program does not need WeeChat sources to compile and can be dynamically loaded into WeeChat with command `/plugin`. The plugin has to be a dynamic library, for dynamic loading by operating system. Under GNU/Linux, the file has ".so" extension, ".dll" under Windows. The plugin has to include "weechat-plugin.h" file (available in WeeChat source code). This file defines structures and types used to communicate with WeeChat. In order to call WeeChat functions in the format displayed in <>, the following global pointer must be declared and initialized in the function <<_weechat_plugin_init,weechat_plugin_init>>: [source,C] ---- struct t_weechat_plugin *weechat_plugin; ---- [[macros]] === Macros The plugin must use some macros (to define some variables): WEECHAT_PLUGIN_NAME("name"):: the plugin name WEECHAT_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION("description"):: a short description of plugin WEECHAT_PLUGIN_VERSION("1.0"):: the plugin version WEECHAT_PLUGIN_LICENSE("GPL3"):: the plugin license WEECHAT_PLUGIN_PRIORITY(1000):: the plugin priority (optional, see below) [[main_functions]] === Main functions The plugin must use two functions: * weechat_plugin_init * weechat_plugin_end ==== weechat_plugin_init This function is called when plugin is loaded by WeeChat. Prototype: [source,C] ---- int weechat_plugin_init (struct t_weechat_plugin *plugin, int argc, char *argv[]); ---- Arguments: * _plugin_: pointer to WeeChat plugin structure, used to initialize the convenience global pointer `weechat_plugin` * _argc_: number of arguments for plugin (given on command line by user) * _argv_: arguments for plugin Return value: * _WEECHAT_RC_OK_ if successful (plugin will be loaded) * _WEECHAT_RC_ERROR_ if error (plugin will NOT be loaded) [[plugin_priority]] ===== Plugin priority When plugins are auto-loaded (for example on startup), WeeChat first loads all plugins, and then calls the _init_ functions, using the priority defined in each plugin. A high priority means that the _init_ function is called first. Default priority is 1000 (with such priority, the plugin is loaded after all default plugins). The default WeeChat plugins are initialized in this order: include::autogen/plugin_api/plugins_priority.adoc[] ==== weechat_plugin_end This function is called when plugin is unloaded by WeeChat. Prototype: [source,C] ---- int weechat_plugin_end (struct t_weechat_plugin *plugin); ---- Arguments: * _plugin_: pointer to WeeChat plugin structure Return value: * _WEECHAT_RC_OK_ if successful * _WEECHAT_RC_ERROR_ if error [[compile_plugin]] === Compile plugin Compile does not need WeeChat sources, only file _weechat-plugin.h_ is required. To compile a plugin which has one file "toto.c" (under GNU/Linux): ---- $ gcc -fPIC -Wall -c toto.c $ gcc -shared -fPIC -o libtoto.so toto.o ---- [[load_plugin]] === Load plugin Copy file _libtoto.so_ into system plugins directory (for example _/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins_) or into user's plugins directory (for example _/home/xxx/.weechat/plugins_). Under WeeChat: ---- /plugin load toto ---- [[plugin_example]] === Plugin example Full example of plugin, which adds a command `/double`: displays two times arguments on current buffer, or execute two times a command (OK that's not very useful, but that's just an example!): [source,C] ---- #include #include "weechat-plugin.h" WEECHAT_PLUGIN_NAME("double"); WEECHAT_PLUGIN_DESCRIPTION("Test plugin for WeeChat"); WEECHAT_PLUGIN_AUTHOR("Sébastien Helleu "); WEECHAT_PLUGIN_VERSION("0.1"); WEECHAT_PLUGIN_LICENSE("GPL3"); struct t_weechat_plugin *weechat_plugin = NULL; /* callback for command "/double" */ int command_double_cb (const void *pointer, void *data, struct t_gui_buffer *buffer, int argc, char **argv, char **argv_eol) { /* make C compiler happy */ (void) data; (void) buffer; (void) argv; if (argc > 1) { weechat_command (NULL, argv_eol[1]); weechat_command (NULL, argv_eol[1]); } return WEECHAT_RC_OK; } int weechat_plugin_init (struct t_weechat_plugin *plugin, int argc, char *argv[]) { weechat_plugin = plugin; weechat_hook_command ("double", "Display two times a message " "or execute two times a command", "message | command", "message: message to display two times\n" "command: command to execute two times", NULL, &command_double_cb, NULL, NULL); return WEECHAT_RC_OK; } int weechat_plugin_end (struct t_weechat_plugin *plugin) { /* make C compiler happy */ (void) plugin; return WEECHAT_RC_OK; } ---- [[plugin_api]] == Plugin API Following chapters describe functions in API, sorted by category. For each function, we give: * description of function, * C prototype, * detail of arguments, * return value, * C example, * example in Python script (syntax for other scripting languages is similar).

[[hooks]] === Hooks [[hook_priority]] [float] ==== Hook priority _WeeChat ≥ 0.3.4._ In some hooks, you can set a priority. A hook with higher priority is at the beginning of hooks list, so it will be found and executed before other hooks. It's useful for modifiers, because execution order is important. To set a priority, you must use this syntax, for argument where priority is allowed: "nnn|name" where "nnn" is non-negative integer with priority and "name" the name for argument (priority does not appear in name, it is automatically removed from string). Default priority is 1000. C example: [source,C] ---- /* hook modifier with priority = 2000 */ weechat_hook_modifier ("2000|input_text_display", &modifier_cb, NULL, NULL); ---- Following hook types allow priority: command, command_run, signal, hsignal, config, completion, modifier, info, info_hashtable, infolist, hdata, focus. ==== hook_command _Updated in 1.5, 1.7._ Hook a command.

Many completions are possible for one argument, separated by `+|+`. Many templates are possible for same command, separated by `+||+`. The format of a completion can be: * _%(name)_: the completion _name_ * _%(name:arguments)_: the completion _name_ with _arguments_ sent to the callback _(WeeChat ≥ 1.7)_ * any string: it is used as-is in completion For example the template `list || add %(filters_names) || del %(filters_names)|-all` will complete with following values in command arguments: * first argument: `list`, `add` and `del` * second argument, depending on first argument: ** `list`: nothing ** `add`: names of filters ** `del`: names of filters and `-all` Default completion codes are: include::autogen/plugin_api/completions.adoc[] Special codes: * `+%%command+`: reuse completion template from command _command_ * `+%-+`: stop completion * `+%*+`: repeat last completion Return value: * pointer to new hook, NULL if error occurred C example: [source,C] ---- int my_command_cb (const void *pointer, void *data, struct t_gui_buffer *buffer, int argc, char **argv, char **argv_eol) { /* ... */ return WEECHAT_RC_OK; } /* this example is inspired by command /filter */ struct t_hook *my_command_hook = weechat_hook_command ("myfilter", "description of myfilter", "[list] | [enable|disable|toggle [name]] | " "[add name plugin.buffer tags regex] | " "[del name|-all]", "description of arguments...", "list" " || enable %(filters_names)" " || disable %(filters_names)" " || toggle %(filters_names)" " || add %(filters_names) %(buffers_plugins_names)|*" " || del %(filters_names)|-all", &my_command_cb, NULL, NULL); ---- For example, if command called is `/command abc def ghi`, then _argv_ and _argv_eol_ have following values: * _argv_: ** _argv[0]_ == "/command" ** _argv[1]_ == "abc" ** _argv[2]_ == "def" ** _argv[3]_ == "ghi" * _argv_eol_: ** _argv_eol[0]_ == "/command abc def ghi" ** _argv_eol[1]_ == "abc def ghi" ** _argv_eol[2]_ == "def ghi" ** _argv_eol[3]_ == "ghi" For scripts, _args_ has value "abc def ghi".

C example: [source,C] ---- int my_fd_cb (const void *pointer, void *data, int fd) { /* ... */ return WEECHAT_RC_OK; } int sock = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); /* set socket options */ /* ... */ struct t_hook *my_fd_hook = weechat_hook_fd (sock, 1, 0, 0, &my_fd_cb, NULL, NULL); ---- Script (Python): [source,python] ---- # prototype hook = weechat.hook_fd(fd, flag_read, flag_write, flag_exception, callback, callback_data) # example def my_fd_cb(data, fd): # ... return weechat.WEECHAT_RC_OK sock = ... hook = weechat.hook_fd(sock, 1, 0, 0, "my_fd_cb", "") ---- ==== hook_process _Updated in 1.5._ Hook a process (launched with fork), and catch output. [NOTE] Since version 0.3.9.2, the shell is not used any more to execute the command. WeeChat makes an automatic split of the command and its arguments (like the shell does). + If the split is not correct (according to quotes in your command), or if you want to use shell, you can use function <<_hook_process_hashtable,hook_process_hashtable>> with arguments in the hashtable _options_ _(WeeChat ≥ 0.4.0)_. Prototype: [source,C] ---- struct t_hook *weechat_hook_process (const char *command, int timeout, int (*callback)(const void *pointer, void *data, const char *command, int return_code, const char *out, const char *err), const void *callback_pointer, void *callback_data); ---- Arguments: * _command_: command to launch in child process, URL _(WeeChat ≥ 0.3.7)_ or function _(WeeChat ≥ 1.5)_ (see below) * _timeout_: timeout for command (in milliseconds): after this timeout, child process is killed (0 means no timeout) * _callback_: function called when data from child is available, or when child has ended, arguments and return value: ** _const void *pointer_: pointer ** _void *data_: pointer ** _const char *command_: command executed by child ** _int return_code_: return code: *** _>= 0_: child return code for a command, and for URL possible values are: **** _0_: transfer OK **** _1_: invalid URL **** _2_: transfer error **** _3_: not enough memory **** _4_: error with a file *** _< 0_: **** _WEECHAT_HOOK_PROCESS_RUNNING_: data available, but child still running) **** _WEECHAT_HOOK_PROCESS_ERROR_: error when launching command **** _WEECHAT_HOOK_PROCESS_CHILD_: callback is called in the child process ** _out_: standard output of command (stdout) ** _err_: error output of command (stderr) ** return value: *** _WEECHAT_RC_OK_ *** _WEECHAT_RC_ERROR_ *** child process return code (in case of function with "func:" in command) * _callback_pointer_: pointer given to callback when it is called by WeeChat * _callback_data_: pointer given to callback when it is called by WeeChat; if not NULL, it must have been allocated with malloc (or similar function) and it is automatically freed when the hook is deleted Return value: * pointer to new hook, NULL if error occurred When command has ended, or if timeout is reached, WeeChat will automatically unhook (and kill process if it is still running). The command can be an URL with format: "url:http://www.example.com", to download content of URL _(WeeChat ≥ 0.3.7)_. Options are possible for URL with function <<_hook_process_hashtable,hook_process_hashtable>>. The command can also be a function name with format: "func:name", to execute the function "name" _(WeeChat ≥ 1.5)_. This function receives a single argument (_data_) and must return a string, which is sent to the callback. + In C API, the callback is called with the return code set to _WEECHAT_HOOK_PROCESS_CHILD_, which means the callback is running in the child process (after fork). + In scripting API, the function _name_ is called directly and its result (string) is sent to the callback (like the output of an external command). [TIP] If you want to retrieve infos about WeeChat (like current stable version, latest git commit, ...), you can use URLs on page https://weechat.org/dev/info [NOTE] Buffer size for sending data to callback is 64KB (there are 2 buffers: one for stdout and one for stderr). If output from child process (stdout or stderr) is longer than 64KB, callback will be called more than one time. [IMPORTANT] Even if most of times your callback is called only once, you must ensure that many calls to callback are OK in your code: you must concatenate data issued by many calls and use data only when return code is non-negative.
