Sébastien Helleu 4adb64284b buffer: add property input_get_any_user_data in buffer (issue #2066) 
This allows buffers to get any user input, including commands, that are sent to
the buffer callback instead of being executed on the buffer.

[[introduction]]
== Introduction
This document is the specification of WeeChat Relay protocol: the protocol used
to relay WeeChat data to clients, which are mostly remote interfaces.
[[terminology]]
=== Terminology
The following terms are used in this document:
* _relay_: this is the WeeChat with relay plugin, which acts as "server" and
allows _clients_ to connect
* _client_: this is another software, connected to _relay_ via a network
connection; in most cases, this _client_ is a remote interface.
[[network_diagram]]
=== Network diagram
The _clients_ are connected to _relay_ like shown in this diagram:
....

│ irc │◄──┐ ╔═══════════╤═══════╗ │ └──────────┘ BSD, macOS ...)

[NOTE]
All clients here are clients using _weechat_ protocol in _relay_ plugin. The
_relay_ plugin also allows IRC clients, then _relay_ plugin acts as an
_IRC proxy_ (not described in this document).
[[protocol_generalities]]
== Protocol generalities
* Connections from _client_ to _relay_ are made using TCP sockets on IP/port
used by _relay_ plugin to listen to new connections.
* Number of _clients_ is limited by the option _relay.network.max_clients_.
* Each _client_ is independent from other clients.
* Messages from _client_ to _relay_ are called _commands_, they are sent as text
(a string).
* Messages from _relay_ to _client_ are called _messages_, they are sent as
binary data.
[[commands]]
== Commands (client → relay)
Commands have format:
----
(id) command arguments\n
----
Fields are:
* _id_: optional message identifier that will be sent in answer from _relay_;
it must be enclosed in parentheses, and must not start with an underscore
(ids starting with underscore are reserved for WeeChat _event_ messages)
* _command_: a command (see table below)
* _arguments_: optional arguments for command (many arguments are separated by
spaces).
List of available commands (detail in next chapters):
[width="100%",cols="1m,8",options="header"]
|===
| Command | Description
| handshake | Handshake: prepare client authentication and set options, before _init_ command.
| init | Authenticate with _relay_.
| hdata | Request a _hdata_.
| info | Request an _info_.
| infolist | Request an _infolist_.
| nicklist | Request a _nicklist_.
| input | Send data to a buffer (text or command).
| completion | Request completion of a string.
| sync | Synchronize buffer(s): get updates for buffer(s).
| desync | Desynchronize buffer(s): stop updates for buffer(s).
| quit | Disconnect from _relay_.
|===
[[command_handshake]]
=== handshake
_WeeChat ≥ 2.9, updated in versions 3.5, 4.0.0._
Perform an handshake between the client and WeeChat: this is required in most
cases to know the session settings and prepare the authentication with the
_init_ command.
Only one handshake is allowed before the _init_ command.
Syntax:
----
(id) handshake [<option>=<value>,[<option>=<value>,...]]
----
Arguments:
* _option_: one of following options:
** _password_hash_algo_: list of hash algorithms supported by the client
(separated by colons), allowed values are:
*** _plain_: plain text password (no hash)
*** _sha256_: password salted and hashed with SHA256 algorithm
*** _sha512_: password salted and hashed with SHA512 algorithm
*** _pbkdf2+sha256_: password salted and hashed with PBKDF2 algorithm (using SHA256 hash)
*** _pbkdf2+sha512_: password salted and hashed with PBKDF2 algorithm (using SHA512 hash)
** _compression_: list of supported compression types supported by the client
(separated by colons and sorted from most important to the fallback value);
if compression is enabled, messages from _relay_ to client are compressed
to save bandwidth; allowed values are:
*** _off_: no compression (default if option is not given)
*** _zlib_: compress with https://zlib.net/[zlib ^↗^^] _(WeeChat ≥ 0.3.7)_
*** _zstd_: compress with https://facebook.github.io/zstd/[Zstandard ^↗^^]:
better compression and much faster than _zlib_ for both compression and decompression
_(WeeChat ≥ 3.5)_
** _escape_commands_: commands sent by the client to relay must be escaped:
all backslashes are interpreted and a single backslash must be escaped (`\\`);
this allows for example the client to send multiline messages (chars `\n` are
converted to newlines, see <<command_input,input command>>)
_(WeeChat ≥ 4.0.0)_
Notes about option _password_hash_algo_:
* If the option is not given (or if the _handshake_ command is not sent by the
client), _relay_ uses automatically _plain_ authentication (if allowed on
_relay_ side).
* _Relay_ chooses the most secure algorithm available on both client and
_relay_, by order of priority from first (most secure) to last used:
. _pbkdf2+sha512_
. _pbkdf2+sha256_
. _sha512_
. _sha256_
. _plain_
WeeChat replies with a hashtable containing the following keys and values:
* _password_hash_algo_: the password authentication negotiated: supported by
both the client and _relay_:
** (empty value): negotiation failed, password authentication is *NOT* possible;
in this case the connection with the client is immediately closed
** _plain_
** _sha256_
** _sha512_
** _pbkdf2+sha256_
** _pbkdf2+sha512_
* _password_hash_iterations_: number of iterations for hash
(for the PBKDF2 algorithm only)
* _totp_:
** _on_: Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) is configured and expected
in the _init_ command
** _off_: Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) is not enabled and not needed
in the _init_ command
* _nonce_: a buffer of unpredictable bytes, sent as hexadecimal, to prevent
replay attacks; if _password_hash_algo_ is a hash algorithm, the client must
compute the hash of password on this nonce, concatenated with a client nonce
and the user password (the _relay_ nonce + the client nonce is the salt used
in the password hash algorithm)
* _compression_: compression type:
** _off_: messages are not compressed
** _zlib_: messages are compressed with https://zlib.net/[zlib ^↗^^]
** _zstd_: messages are compressed with https://facebook.github.io/zstd/[Zstandard ^↗^^]
* _escape_commands_:
** _on_: all backslashes are interpreted in the client messages
** _off_: backslashes are *NOT* interpreted in the client messages and used as-is
[TIP]
With WeeChat ≤ 2.8, the command _handshake_ is not implemented, WeeChat silently
ignores this command, even if it is sent before the _init_ command. +
So it is safe to send this command to any WeeChat version.
Examples:
* Nothing offered by the client, authentication password "plain" will be used
if allowed on relay side:

The client can authenticate with this command (see <<command_init,init command>>),
the salt is the _relay_ nonce + client nonce ("A4B73207F5AAE4" in hexadecimal),
the password is "test" in this example:
----
init password_hash=pbkdf2+sha256:85b1ee00695a5b254e14f4885538df0da4b73207f5aae4:100000:ba7facc3edb89cd06ae810e29ced85980ff36de2bb596fcf513aaab626876440
----
* Only "sha256" and "sha512" are supported by the client, enable zstd (preferred)
or zlib compression:

'escape_commands': 'off',
}
----
[[command_init]]
=== init
_Updated in versions 2.4, 2.8, 2.9, 3.5._
Authenticate with _relay_.
This must be first command sent to _relay_ (only _handshake_ command can be sent
before _init_). +
If not sent, _relay_ will close connection on first command received (except
_handshake_), without warning.
Syntax:
----
(id) init [<option>=<value>,[<option>=<value>,...]]
----
Arguments:
* _option_: one of following options:
** _password_: password used to authenticate on _relay_
(option _relay.network.password_ in WeeChat)
** _password_hash_: hash of password used to authenticate on _relay_
(option _relay.network.password_ in WeeChat), see below for the format
_(WeeChat ≥ 2.8)_
** _totp_: Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) used as secondary authentication
factor, in addition to the password
(option _relay.network.totp_secret_ in WeeChat)
_(WeeChat ≥ 2.4)_
[NOTE]
With WeeChat ≥ 1.6, commas can be escaped in the value, for example
`+init password=foo\,bar+` to send the password "foo,bar".
Format of hashed password is one of the following, where _hash_ is the hashed
password as hexadecimal:
* `+sha256:salt:hash+` with:
** _salt_: salt (hexadecimal), which must start with the server nonce,
concatenated to the client nonce
** _hash_: the hashed salt + password (hexadecimal)
* `+sha512:salt:hash+` with:
** _salt_: salt (hexadecimal), which must start with the server nonce,
concatenated to the client nonce
** _hash_: the hashed salt + password (hexadecimal)
* `+pbkdf2+sha256:salt:iterations:hash+` with:
** _salt_: salt (hexadecimal), which must start with the server nonce,
concatenated to the client nonce
** _iterations_: number of iterations
** _hash_: the hashed salt + password with SHA256 algorithm (hexadecimal)
* `+pbkdf2+sha512:salt:iterations:hash+` with:
** _salt_: salt (hexadecimal), which must start with the server nonce,
concatenated to the client nonce
** _iterations_: number of iterations
** _hash_: the hashed salt + password with SHA512 algorithm (hexadecimal)
[NOTE]
Hexadecimal strings can be lower or upper case, _relay_ can decode both.
Examples:
* Initialize with password:
----
init password=mypass
----
* Initialize with commas in the password _(WeeChat ≥ 1.6)_:
----
init password=mypass\,with\,commas
----
* Initialize with password and TOTP _(WeeChat ≥ 2.4)_:
----
init password=mypass,totp=123456
----
* Initialize with hashed password "test" (SHA256: salt=relay nonce + client nonce)
_(WeeChat ≥ 2.9)_:
----
init password_hash=sha256:85b1ee00695a5b254e14f4885538df0da4b73207f5aae4:2c6ed12eb0109fca3aedc03bf03d9b6e804cd60a23e1731fd17794da423e21db
----
* Initialize with hashed password "test" (SHA512: salt=relay nonce + client nonce)
_(WeeChat ≥ 2.9)_:
----
init password_hash=sha512:85b1ee00695a5b254e14f4885538df0da4b73207f5aae4:0a1f0172a542916bd86e0cbceebc1c38ed791f6be246120452825f0d74ef1078c79e9812de8b0ab3dfaf598b6ca14522374ec6a8653a46df3f96a6b54ac1f0f8
----

[[command_hdata]]
=== hdata
Request a _hdata_.
Syntax:
----

----
Arguments:
* _path_: path to a hdata, with format: "hdata:pointer/var/var/.../var", the
last var is the hdata returned:
** _hdata_: name of hdata
** _pointer_: pointer (eg: "0x1234abcd") or list name (for example: "gui_buffers")
(count allowed, see below)
** _var_: a variable name in parent hdata (previous name in path)
(count allowed, see below)
* _keys_: comma-separated list of keys to return in hdata (if not specified, all
keys are returned, which is not recommended on large hdata structures)
A count is allowed after pointer and variables, with format "(N)". Possible
values are:

* negative number: iterate using previous element, N times
* _*_: iterate using next element, until end of list
[NOTE]

[[command_input]]
=== input
Send data to a buffer.
Syntax:
----
(id) input <buffer> <data>
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (eg: "0x1234abcd") or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.libera.#weechat_)
* _data_: data to send to buffer: if beginning by `/`, this will be executed as
a command on buffer, otherwise text is sent as input of buffer
Examples:
* Send command "/help filter" on WeeChat core bufer:
----
input core.weechat /help filter
----
* Send message "hello!" to #weechat channel:
----
input irc.libera.#weechat hello!
----
* Send multiline message to #test channel (option _escape_commands_ must have
been enabled in <<command_handshake,handshake command>> and requires
WeeChat ≥ 4.0.0):
----
input irc.ergo.#test this message has\n2 lines
----
[[command_completion]]
=== completion
_WeeChat ≥ 2.9._
Request completion of a string: list of possible words at a given position in
a string for a given buffer.
Syntax:
----

----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (eg: "0x1234abcd") or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.libera.#weechat_)
* _position_: position for completion in string (starts to 0);
if the value is -1, the position is the length of _data_ (so the completion
is made at the end of _data_)
* _data_: the input string; if not given, completion is performed on an empty
string
WeeChat replies with a hdata:
[width="100%",cols="2m,3,14",options="header"]
|===
| Name | Type | Description
| context | string | Completion context: "null" (no completion), "command", "command_arg", "auto".

[[command_sync]]
=== sync
_Updated in version 0.4.1._
Synchronize one or more buffers, to get updates.
[IMPORTANT]
It is recommended to send this command immediately after you asked
data for buffers (lines, ...). It can be send in same message (after a new
line char: "\n").
Syntax:
----
(id) sync [<buffer>[,<buffer>...] <option>[,<option>...]]
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (eg: "0x1234abcd") or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.libera.#weechat_); name "*" can be used to
specify all buffers
* _options_: one of following keywords, separated by commas (default is
_buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist_ for "*" and _buffer,nicklist_ for a buffer):
** _buffers_: receive signals about buffers (opened/closed, moved, renamed,
merged/unmerged, hidden/unhidden); this can be used only with name "*"
_(WeeChat ≥ 0.4.1)_
** _upgrade_: receive signals about WeeChat upgrade (upgrade, upgrade ended);
this can be used only with name "*"
_(WeeChat ≥ 0.4.1)_
** _buffer_: receive signals about buffer (new lines, type changed, title
changed, local variable added/removed, and same signals as _buffers_ for the
buffer) _(updated in version 0.4.1)_
** _nicklist_: receive nicklist after changes
Examples:
* Synchronize all buffers with nicklist (the 3 commands are equivalent,
but the first one is recommended for compatibility with future versions):
----
sync
sync *
sync * buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist
----
* Synchronize WeeChat core buffer:
----
sync core.buffer
----
* Synchronize #weechat channel, without nicklist:
----
sync irc.libera.#weechat buffer
----
* Get general signals + all signals for #weechat channel:
----
sync * buffers,upgrade
sync irc.libera.#weechat
----
[[command_desync]]
=== desync
_Updated in version 0.4.1._
Desynchronize one or more buffers, to stop updates.
[NOTE]
This will remove _options_ for buffers. If some options are still active for
buffers, the client will still receive updates for these buffers.
Syntax:
----
(id) desync [<buffer>[,<buffer>...] <option>[,<option>...]]
----
Arguments:
* _buffer_: pointer (eg: "0x1234abcd") or full name of buffer (for example:
_core.weechat_ or _irc.libera.#weechat_); name "*" can be used to
specify all buffers
* _options_: one of following keywords, separated by commas (default is
_buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist_ for "*" and _buffer,nicklist_ for a buffer);
see <<command_sync,sync command>> for values
[NOTE]
When using buffer "*", the other buffers synchronized (using a name) are kept. +
So if you send: "sync *", then "sync irc.libera.#weechat", then "desync *",
the updates on #weechat channel will still be sent by WeeChat (you must remove
it explicitly to stop updates).
Examples:
* Desynchronize all buffers (the 3 commands are equivalent, but the first one
is recommended for compatibility with future versions):
----
desync
desync *
desync * buffers,upgrade,buffer,nicklist
----
* Desynchronize nicklist for #weechat channel (keep buffer updates):
----
desync irc.libera.#weechat nicklist
----
* Desynchronize #weechat channel:
----
desync irc.libera.#weechat
----
[[command_test]]
=== test

[[messages]]
== Messages (relay → client)
Messages are sent as binary data, using following format (with size in bytes):
....
┌────────╥─────────────╥─────────╥────────┬──────────╥───────╥────────┬──────────┐
│ length ║ compression ║ id ║ type 1 │ object 1 ║ ... ║ type N │ object N │
└────────╨─────────────╨─────────╨────────┴──────────╨───────╨────────┴──────────┘
└──────┘ └───────────┘ └───────┘ └──────┘ └────────┘ └──────┘ └────────┘
4 1 4 + str 3 ?? 3 ??
└────────────────────┘ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
header (5) compressed data (??)
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
'length' bytes
....
* _length_ (unsigned integer, 4 bytes): number of bytes of whole message
(including this field)
* _compression_ (byte): flag:
** _0x00_: following data is not compressed
** _0x01_: following data is compressed with https://zlib.net/[zlib ^↗^^]
** _0x02_: following data is compressed with https://facebook.github.io/zstd/[Zstandard ^↗^^]
* _id_ (string, 4 bytes + content): identifier sent by client (before command name); it can be
empty (string with zero length and no content) if no identifier was given in
command
* _type_ (3 chars): a type: 3 letters (see table below)
* _object_: an object (see table below)
[[message_compression]]
=== Compression
If flag _compression_ is equal to 0x01 or 0x02, then *all* data after is compressed
with https://zlib.net/[zlib ^↗^^] or
https://facebook.github.io/zstd/[Zstandard ^↗^^],
and therefore must be uncompressed before being processed.
[[message_identifier]]
=== Identifier
There are two types of identifiers (_id_):
* _id_ sent by _client_: _relay_ will answer with same _id_ in its answer
* _id_ of an event: on some events, _relay_ will send message to _client_ using
a specific _id_, beginning with underscore (see table below)
WeeChat reserved identifiers:
