84.165.91.213: fehler bei kadmlia-status

== File ==

'''Name:''' ''amulesig.dat''

'''Location:''' ''~/.aMule/''

== Description ==

This file is generated by [[aMule]] to inform external applications about it's status.

[[aMule]]'s [[signature]] file is much more powerful than [[onlinesig.dat_file|eMule]]'s and has as much lines as fields. Amongst it's extended features (compared to [[eMule]]'s [[signature]]) are:
*ED2K connecting status report
*Kademlia status report
*nickname
*session and total downloaded and uploaded bytes
*aMule version
*aMule uptime
*number of shared files

Of course, it includes all of [[eMule]]'s [[signature]] [[onlinesig.dat_file|file]] data too:
*whether it is online or not
*which server it's connected to
*upload and download rate
*clients in queue

== Format ==

It's structure is:
*The first line will contain a ''0'' (zero) if [[aMule]] is disconnected from the ED2K network, a ''2'' if it's connecting (only since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc4), or a ''1'' (number 1) if it's online.
*The second third and forth line contain the name, [[IP]] and port of the server [[aMule]] is connected to (in this order) or a zero (''0'') if it's offline. Since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc4 it will also contain a ''0'' when [[aMule]]'s status is connecting or cleanly closed.
*The fifth line will contain an capital ''H'' or a capital ''L'' depending if [[aMule]] is connected with a high or low ID. If [[aMule]] is disconnected, this field will contain a ''0''. Again, since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc4 it will also contain a ''0'' when [[aMule]]'s status is connecting or cleanly closed.
*The sixth line will a contain a ''0'' if aMule is not connected to the kadmlia netowrk, a ''1'' if it is connected to the Kademlia network with a firewalled status or a ''2'' if it is successfully connected to the Kademlia network. This field was introduced with aMule 2.1.0.
*The seventh and eighth lines contain the speed in which [[aMule]] is downloading and uploading respectively. Since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc4 both lines contain ''0.0'' when [[aMule]] is cleanly closed. Exactly one decimal is shown (neither mor nor less).
*The nineth and tenth lines contain the number of clients on the upload queue and the amount of shared files respectively. Since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc4 both lines are set to zero (''0'') too when [[aMule]] is cleanly closed.
*The eleventh line contains the nickname of the user.
*The twelfth and thirteenth lines contain the total amount of bytes downloaded and uploaded respectively.
*The fourteenth line contains the [[aMule]] version.
*The fifteenth and sixteenth line contains the amount of bytes downloaded and uploaded in the current session respectively. Since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc4, both will be ''0'' if [[aMule]] is connecting or was cleanly closed.
*The seventeenth (and last) line contains the amount of time [[aMule]] has been running. Since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc6 this time is expressed in seconds. [[aMule]] version before 2.0.0-rc6 expressed the time in the most suitable integer followed by a space and ''secs'', ''mins'' or ''hours'' depending on the value (or the same time abbreviations in your configured language). Also, since [[aMule]] 2.0.0-rc6, if [[aMule]] is connecting or was cleanly closed this field will contain a ''0'' (in [[aMule]] versions 2.0.0-rc4 and 2.0.0-rc5, when [[aMule]] had been cleanly closed, this line would contain ''00'' followed by the abbreviation ''secs'' (or that same abbreviation in your configured language).

The last line must be followed by a new line character ('\n').
