Net::Hotline::Task \- Task object used internally by Net::Hotline::Client
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Net::Hotline::Task is a simple class for storing and retrieving task
information,  You should never have to create your own Net::Hotline::Task
objects when using Net::Hotline::Client.  Getting and (to a lesser extent)
setting attributes is all that should be necessary.
.SH "CONSTRUCTION"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTION"
.IP "new \s-1NUM\s0, \s-1TYPE\s0, \s-1START\s0, \s-1SOCKET\s0, \s-1PATH\s0" 4
.IX Item "new NUM, TYPE, START, SOCKET, PATH"
With no arguments, creates a new Net::Hotline::Task object with all attributes
set to undef. With three or four arguments (\s-1PATH\s0 is optional), creates a
new Net::Hotline::Task object with task number \s-1NUM\s0, task type \s-1TYPE\s0, start time
\&\s-1START\s0, user socket number \s-1SOCKET\s0, and file path \s-1PATH\s0.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
All the Net::Hotline::Task methods are simple attribute get/set routines.
If given an argument, they set an attribute.  In all cases, they
return the current value of the attribute.
.IP "error \s-1EXPR\s0" 4
.IX Item "error EXPR"
The error state of the task.  A true value means there was an error.
.IP "error_text \s-1TEXT\s0" 4
.IX Item "error_text TEXT"
The error message text.  This only applies if \fIerror()\fR returns a true value.
.IP "finish \s-1TIME\s0" 4
.IX Item "finish TIME"
The time (in platform-native time format, i.e. seconds since the epoch
on a Unix system) that a task completed.
.IP "num \s-1NUMBER\s0" 4
.IX Item "num NUMBER"
The unique task number.  Task numbers increase sequentially.
.IP "path \s-1PATH\s0" 4
.IX Item "path PATH"
The path information associated with a task (if any).  In situations where
two paths may be associated with a task (a \*(L"move file\*(R" task, for example),
a reference to an array containing the paths will be returned.
.IP "socket \s-1NUMBER\s0" 4
.IX Item "socket NUMBER"
The unique user socket number associated with a task (if any).
.IP "start \s-1TIME\s0" 4
.IX Item "start TIME"
The time (in platform-native time format) that a task was started.
.IP "type \s-1TASK_TYPE\s0" 4
.IX Item "type TASK_TYPE"
The \s-1HTLC_TASK_XXX\s0 constant specifying the type of task.  These constants
are defined in Net::Hotline::Constants, and include:
.Sp

\&    HTLC_TASK_FILE_MOVE    Move a file.
\&    HTLC_TASK_SEND_MSG     Send a private message.
\&    HTLC_TASK_SET_INFO     Set file information.
\&    HTLC_TASK_USER_INFO    Get user information.   
\&    HTLC_TASK_USER_LIST    Get the userlist.
