All strings passed to functions in this library should use the standard Amiga character set (ISO). Use CharsetConvert() to convert the charset of strings which is not in ISO. The library uses two envirorment variables: o THOR/BBSDataPath - Path to where to store the database and configuration files. o THOR/THORPath - Path to where the Thor system is installed. This path *must* end with a ':' or a '/'. Progress Hooks: Several functions support call back progress hooks. The hook is called with a BRProgress structure as the object parameter. The BRProgress structure is describred in . The tags for progress hooks are global: BR_ProgressHook - Callback hook for progress report is pointed by (struct Hook *) ti_Data. Returning non-zero from the callback hook will stopp the operation and in some cases make the function return failure. BR_ProgressUpdates - The maximum number of calls to the callback hook for one pass is in (ULONG) ti_Data. The default is 100. BR_ProgressReturn - Pointer to a ULONG to store the return value from the progress hook is in (ULONG *) ti_Data. Common configuration tags: (Not supported by all configuration functions yet.) BRCFG_Use - Don't store the changes done to the configuration if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. BRCFG_LastSaved - Will retrive the configuration last saved before applying any changes. bbsread.library/AppendPassiveConfList bbsread.library/AppendPassiveConfList NAME AppendPassiveConfList - Append to the passive conference list. SYNOPSIS error = AppendPassiveConfList( bbs, passConfList ) D0 A0 A1 BOOL AppendPassiveConfList( struct BBSListItem *, struct List * ); FUNCTION Appends a list of struct PasssConfListItem to a passive conference list. No checking for duplicates will be done. If you don't have the internal number for the conference, pl_BBSConfNr must be initalized to -1. INPUTS bbs - Pointer to the bbs which the list should be added to. passConfList - Pointer to a list of struct PasssConfListItem. RESULT error - Boolean.

LONG ArchiveTags(struct ArcConfigItem *, STRPTR, ULONG, ...); FUNCTION This function add files to an archive. The type of archiver to use is determined with the arcitem. The ability to return failure when the archiver fails depends on how the archivers behave. The tags not understood are forwarded to dos.library/SystemTagList(). Look at dos.library/SystemTagList() for futher information on tags. INPUTS arcitem - Pointer to struct ArcConfigItem to tell which archiver to use. archive - Pointer to path and name of archive to add to. tagitems - Pointer to TagItem array. See . Both dos.library/SystemTagList() tags and dos.library/CreateNewProc() tags may be passed. Here are the TagItem.ti_Tag values that are defined for Archive().

WBRMSG_Urgent - Message is flagged as urgent if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. Default is FALSE. WBRMSG_Important - Message is flagged as important if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. Default is FALSE. WBRMSG_Confidential - Message is flagged as confidential if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. Default is FALSE. WBRMSG_ToFromUserStatus - The status of the MDF_TO_USER and MDF_FROM_USER flags this message should have is in (LONGBITS) ti_Data. When this tag is used, the sender or receiver will *not* be matched against the name and/or address of the user. When using this tag, the parser is responsible for checking if the message is to or from the user. WBRMSG_Queued - Message is flagged as queued for later download if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. Default is FALSE. (V6) WBRMSG_EmptyBody - Message is flagged as having no message body if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. Default is FALSE. Make sure to use this tag when adding only headers. This flag will be cleared automatically when adding a body using UpdateBRMessage(). (V6) RESULT msgnr - The number the message got in the database. Returns 0 on failure and -1 if the message matched a kill that would delete the message, in which case the message will not be added to the database. EXAMPLE Some examples for splitting addresses in 'Name' and 'Address': RFC: "Martin Horneffer " -> name: "Martin Horneffer" address: "maho@balrog.dfv.rwth-aachen.de" "horneff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Martin Horneffer)" -> name: "Martin Horneffer" address: "horneff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de" "horneff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de" -> name: "horneff" address: "horneff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de" FidoNet: "Martin Horneffer at 2:242/7.9" -> name: "Martin Horneffer" address: "2:242/7.9" "Joerg Gutzke at 2:242/7" -> name: "Joerg Gutzke" address: "2:242/7" NOTES All strings is considered to be in the BRCS_ISO charset. To get the charset defined for this Conf/BBS/BBSType use ConfCharset(). -1 is a new return code added for 4.65 and higher of bbsread.library BRMSG_Text must contain atleast an empty array, even if you are adding only header information.

SYNOPSIS usernr = WriteBRUser( bbs, tagitems ) D0 A0 A1 ULONG WriteBRUser( struct BBSListItem *, struct TagItem * ); usernr = WriteBRUserTags( bbs, Tag1, ... ) ULONG WriteBRUserTags( struct BBSListItem *, ULONG, ... ); FUNCTION Writes a user to the userdatabase for a bbs. INPUTS bbs - Pointer to BBSListItem for bbs to write user to. tagitems - Pointer to TagItem array. Here are the TagItem.ti_Tag values that are defined for WriteBRUser(). BRUSR_Name - The name the user has om this bbs is pointed by (STRPTR) ti_Data. This tag must be supplied when adding or updating a user. BRUSR_Address - The address the user has on this bbs is pointed by (STRPTR) ti_Data. BRUSR_Alias - Alias to use for refering to this user is pointed by (STRPTR) ti_Data. This alias can be used to look up this user in the database. BRUSR_Comment - A comment that can be attatched to this user is in a NULL terminated STRPTR array pointed by (STRPTR *) ti_Data. Each STRPTR represents a line of text. No newline characters are allowed. BRUSR_Encode8BitMsg - Encode 8 bit private messages to this user if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. Default is FALSE. Only applicable when the TDF_SUPPORTS_ENCODE_8BIT_MAIL flag is set for the bbstype of this bbs. BRUSR_PGPkeyID - The PGP key ID for this users PGP key is pointed by (STRPTR) ti_Data. WBRUSR_UpdateUserNr - Update the user with user number (ULONG) ti_Data. All old tags for this user will be discarded. WBRUSR_DeleteUser - Mark the user with the usernumber supplied in the WBRUSR_UpdateUserNr tag as deleted if (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE. This tag is ignored when the WBRUSR_UpdateUserNr tag is not supplied. WBRUSR_OnlyIfNotExist - If (BOOL) ti_Data is TRUE, the user will only be written to the database if the name given in BRUSR_Name don't exist in the database. Default is FALSE. This tag is ignored when updating users with WBRUSR_UpdateUserNr. RESULT usernr - The number the user got in the database. Returns 0 on failure. EXAMPLE NOTES BUGS SEE ALSO bbsread.library/WritePassiveConfList bbsread.library/WritePassiveConfList NAME WritePassiveConfList -- Write to the passive conference list. SYNOPSIS error = WritePassiveConfList( bbs, passConfList ) D0 A0 A1 BOOL WritePassiveConfList( struct BBSListItem *, struct List * ); FUNCTION Writes a list of conference names to the passive conference list datafiles. The old list is deleted before writing this new one. The passive conference list is a list of *all* available conferences at the bbs. It should be used when the user want to send a join event. The list should only be written when the parser has got a list over all conferences at the bbs. If you don't have the internal number for the conference, pl_BBSConfNr must be initalized to -1. INPUTS bbs - Pointer to the bbs which the list should be written to. passConfList - Pointer to a list of struct PasssConfListItem. RESULT error - Boolean. EXAMPLE NOTES BUGS SEE ALSO
