util.startup: Fix exiting on pidfile trouble prosody.shutdown() relies on prosody.main_thread, which has not been set yet at this point. Doing a clean shutdown might actually be harmful in case it tears down things set up by the conflicting Prosody, such as the very pidfile we were looking at. Thanks again SigmaTel71 for noticing


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.
