Keep track of information on conference users
Synopsis
gk::users get key
gk::users keys ?key?
Description
The gk::users command is used to retrieve information about the current
users of a conference, or those currently connected to a GroupKit session
manager.
Each user has subtree underneath the root of the environment, named after
their unique user number. Typical information stored under that node
would be "color", "username", and optionally information such as "title",
"company", "email", and "www" as displayed by the business card
widget.
Several "aliases" are available. If rather than a unique user number the
toplevel node is specified as "local", it will be mapped to the local user's
unique user number. In particular, you can retrieve this number via the
key "local.usernum". Specifying "gk::users keys remote" is a shorthand
for returning the list of all unique user numbers, except for that of the
local process.
Supported environments commands include "get" and "keys". Despite
looking like an environment, the gk::users command actually retrieves its
information from the registry, a separate environment.
