## Typedef Documentation

## ◆ PurpleSavedStatus

typedef struct _PurpleSavedStatus PurpleSavedStatus

Saved statuses don't really interact much with the rest of Purple.

It could really be a plugin. It's just a list of away states. When a user chooses one of the saved states, their Purple accounts are set to the settings of that state.

In the savedstatus API, there is the concept of a 'transient' saved status. A transient saved status is one that is not permanent. Purple will removed it automatically if it isn't used for a period of time. Transient saved statuses don't have titles and they don't show up in the list of saved statuses. In fact, if a saved status does not have a title then it is transient. If it does have a title, then it is not transient.

What good is a transient status, you ask? They can be used to keep track of the user's 5 most recently used statuses, for example. Basically if they just set a message on the fly, we'll cache it for them in case they want to use it again. If they don't use it again, we'll just delete it.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_activate()

void purple_savedstatus_activate | ( | PurpleSavedStatus * | saved_status | ) |

Sets the statuses for all your accounts to those specified by the given saved_status.

This function calls purple_savedstatus_activate_for_account() for all your accounts.

Parameters

  saved_status | The status you want to set your accounts to.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_activate_for_account()

void purple_savedstatus_activate_for_account | ( | const PurpleSavedStatus * | saved_status,
|  | PurpleAccount * | account
| ) |  |

Sets the statuses for a given account to those specified by the given saved_status.

Parameters

  saved_status | The status you want to set your accounts to.
  account | The account whose statuses you want to change.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_delete()

gboolean purple_savedstatus_delete | ( | const char * | title | ) |

Delete a saved status.

This removes the saved status from the list of saved statuses, and writes the revised list to status.xml.

Parameters

  title | The title of the saved status.

Returns
  TRUE if the status was successfully deleted. FALSE if the status could not be deleted because no saved status exists with the given title.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_delete_by_status()

void purple_savedstatus_delete_by_status | ( | PurpleSavedStatus * | saved_status | ) |

Delete a saved status.

This removes the saved status from the list of saved statuses, and writes the revised list to status.xml.

Parameters

  saved_status | the status to delete, the pointer is invalid after the call

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_find()

PurpleSavedStatus* purple_savedstatus_find | ( | const char * | title | ) |

Finds a saved status with the specified title.

Parameters

  title | The name of the saved status.

Returns
  The saved status if found, or NULL.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_find_by_creation_time()

PurpleSavedStatus* purple_savedstatus_find_by_creation_time | ( | time_t | creation_time | ) |

Finds a saved status with the specified creation time.

Parameters

  creation_time | The timestamp when the saved status was created.

Returns
  The saved status if found, or NULL.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_find_transient_by_type_and_message()

PurpleSavedStatus* purple_savedstatus_find_transient_by_type_and_message | ( | PurpleStatusPrimitive | type,
|  | const char * | message

Finds a saved status with the specified primitive and message.

Parameters

  type | The PurpleStatusPrimitive for the status you're trying to find.

Returns
  The saved status if found, or NULL.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_get_creation_time()

time_t purple_savedstatus_get_creation_time | ( | const PurpleSavedStatus * | saved_status | ) |

Return the time in seconds-since-the-epoch when this saved status was created.

Note: For any status created by Purple 1.5.0 or older this value will be invalid and very small (close to 0). This is because Purple 1.5.0 and older did not record the timestamp when the status was created.

However, this value is guaranteed to be a unique identifier for the given saved status.

Parameters

Returns
  The timestamp when this saved status was created.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_get_current()

Returns
  A pointer to the in-use PurpleSavedStatus. This function never returns NULL.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_get_default()

PurpleSavedStatus* purple_savedstatus_get_default | ( | void |  | ) |

Returns the default saved status that is used when our accounts are not idle-away.

Returns the status to be used when purple is starting up.

Returns
  A pointer to the startup PurpleSavedStatus. This function never returns NULL.

## ◆ purple_savedstatus_is_transient()

gboolean purple_savedstatus_is_transient | ( | const PurpleSavedStatus * | saved_status | ) |
