Windows are numbered and for the most part + tokens are space separated. In some cases (e.g. title or status) + the final element on the output line is a string which might have + spaces embedded within it. As such, output from nsmonkey should be + parsed a token at a time, so that when such a string is encountered, + the parser can stop splitting and return the rest. + + Top level tags for nsmonkey + --------------------------- + + GENERIC + + WARN, ERROR, DIE + + WINDOW + + DOWNLOAD_WINDOW + + SSLCERT + + 401LOGIN + + In the below, %something% indicates a substitution made by Monkey. + + %url% will be a URL + %id% will be an opaque ID + %n% will be a number + %bool% will be TRUE or FALSE + %str% is a string and will only ever be at the end of an output line. + + Warnings, errors etc + -------------------- + + Warnings (tagged WARN) come from the NetSurf core. + Errors (tagged ERROR) tend to come from Monkey's parsers + Death (tagged DIE) comes from the core and kills Monkey dead. + + Generic messages + ---------------- + + GENERIC STARTED + Monkey has started and is ready for commands + GENERIC CLOSING_DOWN + Monkey has been told to shut down and is doing so + GENERIC FINISHED + Monkey has finished and will now exit + GENERIC LAUNCH URL %url% + The core asked monkey to launch the given URL + GENERIC THUMBNAIL URL %url% + The core asked monkey to thumbnail a content without + a window. + GENERIC POLL BLOCKING + Monkey reached a point where it could sleep waiting for + commands or scheduled timeouts.
