prosodyctl: Further deprecate start/stop/restart commands when installed Despite the warning we introduced, many people continue to try using prosodyctl to manage Prosody in the presence of systemctl (e.g. #1688). Also, despite the warning, prosodyctl proceeded with the operation. This means the commands could be invoked by accident, and cause a situation that is hard to recover from (needing to manually track down stray processes). This commit disables all the problematic commands by default, but this can still be overridden using --force or via a config option. We only perform this check when we believe Prosody has been "installed" for system-wide use (i.e. running it from a source directory is still supported).

This file documents the structure of the roster object.

table roster {
  [string bare_jid] = roster_item
}

table roster_item {
  string subscription = "none" | "to" | "from" | "both"
  string name = Opaque string set by client. (optional)
  set groups = a set of opaque strings set by the client
  boolean ask = nil | "subscribe" - a value of true indicates subscription is pending
}

The roster is available as
 hosts[host].sessions[username].roster
and a copy is made to session.roster for all sessions.

All modifications to a roster should be done through the rostermanager.
