;;
;; Interfaces for session initiation and discovery.
;;
;; The central interface is
;; `rudel-session-initiation-backend'. Backends implementing this
;; interface can provide methods to discover sessions, to advertise
;; sessions, or both.
;;
;; The client programming interface consists of a priority which is
;; one of:
;;
;; + `primary'
;; + `fallback'
;;
;; and the following functions:
;;
;; + `rudel-session-initiation-discover'
;; + `rudel-session-initiation-advertise'
;; + `rudel-session-initiation-withdraw'

"List of configured sessions.
Each session is described as a plist (a list of keys and values
see Info node `(elisp)Property Lists'). Keys are specified using
keywords and look like this: :host, :username, :color. Values are
mostly strings, but symbols and numbers are possible as well.
The following keys are required for any session:
* :name (string)
* :backend (string or symbol)
Other keys are optional and depend on the selected
backend. Required keys for which no value is specified will be
prompted for when selecting the session. The values of the :name
properties have to be distinct for all configured sessions.
Additional keys required by most backends:
* :host (string)
* :port (number)
* :username (string)
* :color (string)
Here is a complete example of customized values for the obby
backend:
* :name \"sonian\"
* :backend obby
* :host \"sobby\"
* :port 6522
* :encryption t
* :username \"phil\"
* :color \"white\"
* :global-password \"\" (this means \"no password\")
* :user-password \"\"
The programmatic equivalent looks like this:
(add-to-list
'rudel-configured-sessions
(list :name \"myserver\"
:backend 'obby
:host \"my.sobby-server.net\"
:username user-login-name
;; Use M-x list-colors-display to see color choices.
:color \"white\"
:encryption t
:port 6522
;; empty string means no password
:global-password \"\"
:user-password \"\"))"
