## Detailed Description

Status API

A brief explanation of the status API:

PurpleStatusType's are created by each PRPL. They outline the available statuses of the protocol. AIM, for example, supports an available state with an optional available message, an away state with a mandatory message, and an invisible state (which is technically "independent" of the other two, but we'll get into that later). PurpleStatusTypes are very permanent. They are hardcoded in each PRPL and will not change often. And because they are hardcoded, they do not need to be saved to any XML file.

A PurpleStatus can be thought of as an "instance" of a PurpleStatusType. If you're familiar with object-oriented programming languages then this should be immediately clear. Say, for example, that one of your AIM buddies has set himself as "away." You have a PurpleBuddy node for this person in your buddy list. Purple wants to mark this buddy as "away," so it creates a new PurpleStatus. The PurpleStatus has its PurpleStatusType set to the "away" state for the oscar PRPL. The PurpleStatus also contains the buddy's away message. PurpleStatuses are sometimes saved, depending on the context. The current PurpleStatuses associated with each of your accounts are saved so that the next time you start Purple, your accounts will be set to their last known statuses. There is also a list of saved statuses that are written to the status.xml file. Also, each PurpleStatus has a "saveable" boolean. If "saveable" is set to FALSE then the status is NEVER saved. All PurpleStatuses should be inside a PurplePresence.

A PurpleStatus is either "independent" or "exclusive." Independent statuses can be active or inactive and they don't affect anything else. However, you can only have one exclusive status per PurplePresence. If you activate one exclusive status, then the previous exclusive status is automatically deactivated.

A PurplePresence is like a collection of PurpleStatuses (plus some other random info). For any buddy, or for any one of your accounts, or for any person with which you're chatting, you may know various amounts of information. This information is all contained in one PurplePresence. If one of your buddies is away and idle, then the presence contains the PurpleStatus for their awayness, and it contains their current idle time. PurplePresences are never saved to disk. The information they contain is only relevant for the current PurpleSession.
