I've released this plugin... maybe useful for plugin's developers:
http://www.ebcorp.org/devel/&rq/apitracer/apitracer.zipby, TC
---- docfile:
APITracer
v.0.1.0
2003/02/06 (yyyy/mm/dd)
&RQApi ver. 4 compliant
Tested on: &RQ 0.9.4.4.preview
&RQ required: with Api ver. 2 support
APITracer is a simple plugin that help &RQ plugin's developers to track events or messages on the channel &RQ -> plugin. When the plugin APITracer is active, it traces API activity into APITracer.log file (written on the &RQ folder - always edited in append mode), writing some data (useful and useless).
Example of APITracer.log:
#start file example
------------------------
at: Thu Feb 06 12:26:59 2003
topic: PM_EVENT (3)
what : PE_PREFERENCES (3)
communication lenght: 2 byte
communication lenght included first 4 byte: 6 byte
Data dump (6 byte):
pos | dec | char
dec | val | val
----------------
000 | 002 |
001 | 000 |
002 | 000 |
004 | 003 |
005 | 003 |
#end file example
All right? Maybe not
So, APITracer, wen active, write this file with info on the topic and what fields of buffer (pos 4 and 5), and dump the buffer with position (decimal - first colum), decimal value of byte (2^ col) and the char value of the byte (last col).
When you want to see what &RQ send to plugin, when, for example, a message is got, start APITracer then use your &RQ... then stop APITracer (if you don't stop it, you will got a 100Gb log file on your harddisk
) and see what happen at buffer level.
