- Buddy List
- The buddy list tool allows a user to see in near realtime when his friends (buddies) are using the Instant Messenger service. A user may set a preference to block others from seeing him when he is on. He may also set a permit or deny list to selectively show his presence. See:Symmetric Blocking
- FLAP
- FLAP is a low-level communications protocol that facilitates the development of higher-level, record-oriented, communications layers. It is used on the TCP connection between all clients and servers.
- SFLAP
- String-based FLAP, the one used in TOC.
- TLV
- TLV - Type Length Value. A tuple allowing typed opaque information to be passed through the protocol. Typically TLV's are intended for interpretation at the core layer. Being typed, new elements can be added w/o modifying the lower layers. All values sent via TOC should be base64 encoded.
- Warnings
- A warning is a form of electronic vilification. It allows a user who has been affected by the online behavior of another user to express an opinion about that behavior. For more information see the Warnings FAQ.
