Introduction

LST is a command introduced with MSNP2.

It is a Notification Server command, without a request or response payload.

It retrieves all users in any of the avaliable lists.

Client/Request

LST TrID [ FL | AL | BL | RL ]

NOTE: There is a possibility that PL can be retrieved this way too.

Server/Response

Outside of SYN

LST TrID [ FL | AL | BL | RL ] list-version index size-of-list user-handle stored-friendly-name {groups}

Where list-version is the current List Version.

Where index is a number that can not go out of size-of-list. If the list is empty this is 0.

Where size-of-list is the upper bounds for index. If the list is empty this is 0.

Where user-handle is the related user's handle. If the list is empty this parameter is not in the response.

Where stored-friendly-name is the friendly name stored for this contact on the server. If the list is empty this parameter is not in the response.

Where groups is a comma-delimited list of Group IDs this contact is in, only appended if the list (parameter 1) is set to FL. Defaults to 0. Added since MSNP7.

In SYN

First generation parameters

Applies for MSNP2 to MSNP6.

Same as the response Outside of SYN.

Known changes

• MSNP7: Added support for groups.
• MSNP8: Changed format in SYN considerably, dropping the iterator parameters and merging all lists into a single parameter instead of multiple calls.
• MSNP10: Added prefixes for user handle, stored friendly name to SYN version, added C= for contact ID. Changed C= to contact GUID and changed group ID list to group GUID list with ABCHMigrated: 1 to SYN version.
• MSNP12: Added Network IDs to SYN version.
• MSNP13: Removed SYN. Use both the Address Book Service's ABFindAll and the Contact Sharing Service's FindMembership actions instead.
• Hard-removed in November 2003, Removed outside of SYN, now just automatically disconnects.
