5.4 Core MTypesThis section defines those MTypes currently in the “samp.” hierarchy. Theseare the “administrative”-type MTypes which are core to the SAMP architectureor widely applicable to SAMP applications.5.4.1 Hub Administrative MessagesThe following MTypes are for messages which SHOULD be broadcast by thehub in response to changes in hub state. By subscribing to these messages,clients are able to keep track of the current set of registered applications andof their metadata and subscriptions. In general, non-hub clients SHOULDNOT send these messages.samp.hub.event.shutdown:Arguments:noneReturn Values:noneDescription:The hub SHOULD broadcast this message just before it exits.The hub SHOULD make every effort to broadcast this messageeven in case of an exit due to an error condition.samp.hub.event.register:Arguments:id (string) — Public ID of newly registered clientReturn Values:noneDescription:The hub SHOULD broadcast this message every time a clientsuccessfully registers.samp.hub.event.unregister:Arguments:id (string) — public ID of unregistered clientReturn Values:noneDescription:The hub SHOULD broadcast this message every time a clientunregisters.34
samp.hub.event.metadata:Arguments:id (string) — public ID of client declaring metadatametadata (map) — new metadata declared by clientReturn Values:noneDescription:The hub SHOULD broadcast this message every time a client declaresits metadata. The metadata argument is exactly as passedusing the declareMetadata() method.samp.hub.event.subscriptions:Arguments:id (string) — public ID of subscribing clientsubscriptions (map) — new subscriptions declared by clientReturn Values:noneDescription:The hub SHOULD broadcast this message every time a client declaresits subscriptions. The subscriptions argument is exactlyas passed using the declareSubscriptions() method, and hencemay contain wildcarded MType strings.samp.hub.disconnect:Arguments:reason (string) — (OPTIONAL) Short text message indicatingthe reason that the disconnection is being forcedReturn Values:noneDescription:The hub SHOULD send this message to a client if the hub intendsto disconnect that client forcibly. This indicates that no furthercommunication from that client is welcome, and any such attemptsmay be expected to fail. The hub may wish to disconnect clientsforcibly as a result of some hub timeout policy or for other reasons.5.4.2 Client Administrative MessagesThe following messages are generic messages defined for client use.35
