util.startup: Check root after detecting platform and reading config (thanks SigmaTel71) Ensures that startup.detect_platform() runs so know whether to use the POSIX method of checking the current user or something else. Also after reading the config so we know whether the root override setting is set.


This file documents the structure of the roster object.

table roster {
  [string bare_jid] = roster_item
}

table roster_item {
  string subscription = "none" | "to" | "from" | "both"
  string name = Opaque string set by client. (optional)
  set groups = a set of opaque strings set by the client
  boolean ask = nil | "subscribe" - a value of true indicates subscription is pending
}

The roster is available as
 hosts[host].sessions[username].roster
and a copy is made to session.roster for all sessions.

All modifications to a roster should be done through the rostermanager.
