Utilities are simple commands which can be spawned from licq and passed various parameters from the selected user. Utilities are installed simply by copying the .utility file into {prefix}/share/licq/utilities and restarting licq. Here is an example utility file: #---------------------------- [utility] # Options here are TERM for xterm, LICQ for output only internal viewer, or # GUI for a program's own window Window = GUI # Commands can take various % expressions: # %e email # %i ip # %p port # %n full name # %f first name # %l last name # %a alias # %u uin # %w webpage # %h phone number # %c cellular phone # %s full status string # %S short status string with no spaces # %o last seen online # %O online since # %% a percent symbol # %# user will be prompted for input, for each %# a User#.Title field must be # present containing a description of the item, and a User#.Default field # may be present indicating the default value for the item (it may contain # any of the above % expressions) Command = cmd %1@%i %e %2 User1.Title = Remote user name User1.Default = %f User2.Title = File name # This could equivalently be omitted User2.Default = none #----------------------------
