[Weechat-support] RE: infolist demo plugin

[Leon Bogaert]

Thanks Sebastien! I'll look into the demo plugin. That would be very useful to 
determine which information is in the infolist.

Hi Leon,

In fact infolist_get returns a pointer to infolist. Then you have to
use other infolist functions to extract values for variables in
infolist.
You can look for example at this script, which read infolist with
buffers:
http://weechat.flashtux.org/dev/scripts/buffers.pl

For example you can do something like that in perl:

my $infolist = weechat::infolist_get("irc_server", "", "");
while (weechat::infolist_next($infolist))
{
    weechat::print("", "server name = "
        .weechat::infolist_string($infolist, "name");
}
weechat::infolist_free($infolist);

If you want to see content of infolist, you can use demo plugin (you
have to enable this plugin when compiling weechat, it's not compiled
by default). You can use this command to see infolist returned by IRC
plugin with list of servers:

/demo_infolist irc_server

I'm currently writing doc for new API ;)
