Defines the `client` object returned by |nvim_get_chan_info()|.
Clients should call this just after connecting, to provide hints for
debugging and orchestration. (Note: Something is better than nothing!
Fields are optional, but at least set `name`.)
Can be called more than once; the caller should merge old info if
appropriate. Example: library first identifies the channel, then a plugin
using that library later identifies itself.
Attributes: ~
|RPC| only
Since: 0.3.0
Parameters: ~
• {name} Client short-name. Sets the `client.name` field of
|nvim_get_chan_info()|.
• {version} Dict describing the version, with these (optional) keys:
• "major" major version (defaults to 0 if not set, for
no release yet)
• "minor" minor version
• "patch" patch number
• "prerelease" string describing a prerelease, like
"dev" or "beta1"
• "commit" hash or similar identifier of commit
• {type} Must be one of the following values. Client libraries
should default to "remote" unless overridden by the
user.
• "remote" remote client connected "Nvim flavored"
MessagePack-RPC (responses must be in reverse order of
requests). |msgpack-rpc|
• "msgpack-rpc" remote client connected to Nvim via
fully MessagePack-RPC compliant protocol.
• "ui" gui frontend
• "embedder" application using Nvim as a component (for
example, IDE/editor implementing a vim mode).
• "host" plugin host, typically started by nvim
• "plugin" single plugin, started by nvim
• {methods} Builtin methods in the client. For a host, this does not
include plugin methods which will be discovered later.
The key should be the method name, the values are dicts
with these (optional) keys (more keys may be added in
future versions of Nvim, thus unknown keys are ignored.
Clients must only use keys defined in this or later
versions of Nvim):
• "async" if true, send as a notification. If false or
unspecified, use a blocking request
• "nargs" Number of arguments. Could be a single integer
or an array of two integers, minimum and maximum
inclusive.
• {attributes} Arbitrary string:string map of informal client
properties. Suggested keys:
• "pid": Process id.
• "website": Client homepage URL (e.g. GitHub
repository)
• "license": License description ("Apache 2", "GPLv3",
"MIT", …)
• "logo": URI or path to image, preferably small logo or
icon. .png or .svg format is preferred.
