API Reference
*************

As this API is just a wrapper for LOOT's C++ API, its documentation is linked to
for all non-Python-specific information.

Enumerations
============

The wrapped enumeration types below are classes in Python, but the distinction
makes no difference in practice, so they're grouped here for semantics. All
values are unsigned integer constants.

.. py:class:: loot_api.GameType

  Wraps :cpp:type:`loot::GameType` to expose the LOOT API's game codes.

  .. py:attribute:: fo3
  .. py:attribute:: fo4
  .. py:attribute:: fonv
  .. py:attribute:: tes4
  .. py:attribute:: tes5
  .. py:attribute:: tes5se

.. py:class:: loot_api.LogLevel

  Wraps :cpp:type:`loot::LogLevel` to expose the LOOT API's log level codes.

  .. py:attribute:: trace
  .. py:attribute:: debug
  .. py:attribute:: info
  .. py:attribute:: warning
  .. py:attribute:: error
  .. py:attribute:: fatal

.. py:class:: loot_api.MessageType

  Wraps :cpp:type:`loot::MessageType` to expose the LOOT API's message type
  codes.

  .. py:attribute:: error
  .. py:attribute:: say
  .. py:attribute:: warn

.. py:class:: loot_api.PluginCleanliness

  Codes used to indicate the cleanliness of a plugin according to the
  information contained within the loaded masterlist/userlist.

  .. py:attribute:: clean

    Indicates that the plugin is clean.

  .. py:attribute:: dirty

    Indicates that the plugin is dirty.

  .. py:attribute:: do_not_clean

    Indicates that the plugin contains dirty edits, but that they are part of
    the plugin’s intended functionality and should not be removed.

  .. py:attribute:: unknown

    Indicates that no data is available on whether the plugin is dirty or not.

Public-Field Data Structures
============================

Classes with public fields and no member functions.

  .. py:attribute:: is_modified

    A boolean that is true if the masterlist has been modified from its state
    at the commit given by :py:attr:`revision_id`.

.. py:class:: loot_api.SimpleMessage

  Wraps :cpp:class:`loot::SimpleMessage`.

  Wraps :cpp:class:`loot::PluginTags`.

  .. py:attribute:: added

    A set of Unicode strings giving Bash Tags suggested for addition.

  .. py:attribute:: removed

    A boolean that is true if the suggestions contain metadata obtained from a loaded userlist.


Functions
=========

.. py:function:: loot_api.set_logging_callback(callback) -> NoneType
