  34 <PRE>     Apologies for the delay in replying; I've been busy lately.
  35
  36 &gt;<i>1. I saw in the memoserv module an array (static Command cmds[]), which
  37 </I>&gt;<i>(i think) used to declare the commands, which  users can use on irc. I
  38 </I>&gt;<i>searched for the definition of Command structure, and found it in
  39 </I>&gt;<i>commands.h but can't understand what the variables does. Can anybody
  40 </I>&gt;<i>explain me what (*has_priv)(User *u), helpmsg_all, etc does to the
  41 </I>&gt;<i>module? Or can i write a fully functional modul without using functions
  42 </I>&gt;<i>and structures in command.c or .h?
  43 </I>
  44      The commands.[ch] files are intended to help with processing
  45 pseudoclient commands, by letting you provide a list of commands available
  46 which can then be searched by the functions in commands.c.  It's not
  47 necessary, however.
  48
  49 &gt;<i>2. When I compile a module, which provides a new pseudoclient, will it
  50 </I>&gt;<i>be available after rehashing, or i need to restart services?
  51 </I>
  52      The module itself will be loaded after a REHASH (I've clarified this
  53 in the documentation), so as long as your init_module() function introduces
  54 the nickname, it'll be available.
  55
  56 &gt;<i>3. Is there any list with some description about available functions
  57 </I>&gt;<i>like get_user, is_oper, send_cmd, etc etc... I know the definitions are
  58 </I>&gt;<i>in extern.h and i can find the functions in the .c files, but there
  59 </I>&gt;<i>aren't and description what the functions actually does. If there aren't
  60 </I>&gt;<i>any documentation i will try to find it out from the source, i know,
  61 </I>&gt;<i>it's an alternative, but it would be better to have docs :)
  62 </I>
  63      A design document detailing all of this information is something I'm
  64 hoping to have done for version 5.1.  (I'd actually hoped to have it for
  65 5.0, but you can see how well that plan worked out...)
