core (memory/migration): ignore FTS table when autogenerating script for migration:
SQLite Full-Text Search stable are not associated to Python object and can't be detected
by Alembic. To avoid the generation of unwanted drop commands, they are now ignored when
autogenerating migration scripts.

| 10 ======= | |
| 11 | |
| 12 profile arguments are really common, they allow you to select your profile. | |
| 13 If you don't select any, the default profile is used, which is the first | |
| 14 profile created or the one you have explicitly set. You can check which profile | |

15 is used by default with ``li profile default``. |
| 2946 | 16 |
| 17 The common arguments for profile are: | |
| 18 | |
| 19 ``-p PROFILE, --profile PROFILE`` | |
| 20 to select the name of your profile. It can be a profile key like ``@DEFAULT@`` | |
| 21 | |
| 22 ``-c, --connect`` | |
| 23 connect the profile to the XMPP server before doing anything else. If your | |
| 24 profile is already connected, nothing happen. This is specially useful in scripts. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 ``--start-session`` | |
| 27 starts a session without connecting, this can be needed if you can't connect but | |
| 28 you need to access your session e.g. to change parameters. | |
| 29 This is advanced used and is not need in most common cases. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 ``--pwd PASSWORD`` | |
| 32 the password of your profile, needed if the session is not started yet. | |

| 44 .. _pubsub_common: | |
| 45 | |
| 46 pubsub | |
| 47 ====== | |
| 48 | |
| 49 pubsub arguments are used in many commands, they allow you to select a service, node and | |
| 50 items. Depending on the command, you may only not be able to select an item, or you may | |
| 51 select one or multiple items. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 The common arguments for pubsub are: | |
| 54 | |
| 55 ``-u PUBSUB_URL, --pubsub-url PUBSUB_URL`` | |
| 56 retrieve pubsub information from an URL. You can use either and ``xmpp:`` scheme or an | |
| 57 ``https:`` (or ``http:``) scheme. In the later case, the HTML page will be downloaded to | |
| 58 retrieve the location of the XMPP node/item, if available. | |
| 59 Note that you can override parts of the location in the URL if you specify service, node | |
| 60 or item. | |

| 69 ``-n NODE, --node NODE`` | |
| 70 used to specifiy the pubsub node | |
| 71 | |
| 72 ``-i ITEM, --item ITEM`` | |
| 73 for commands where an item can be specified, you do it with this option. In some | |
| 74 commands, multiple items can be specified, in this case just use this arguments several | |
| 75 times. | |
| 76 | |
| 77 ``-L, --last-item`` | |
| 78 when an item id is needed, you can use this option to retrieve the last published item. | |

| 83 ``-M, --max-items`` | |
| 84 use to specify a maxium number of items to retrieve, when it makes sense. | |
| 85 Note that this is using the pubsub max (i.e. defined in | |
| 86 `XEP-0060 <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html>`_). Modern pubsub services should | |
| 87 implement `Result Set Management <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0059.html>`_ (RSM) and in | |
| 88 this case the ``-m, --max`` argument should be prefered. See below for RSM common | |
| 89 arguments. | |

| 2946 | 96 result set management |
| 97 ===================== | |
| 98 | |
| 99 Result Set Management (RSM) common arguments are used to navigate into pages of results | |
| 100 when lot of elements may be expected. Given a result with a large number of arguments, a | |
| 101 *page* is set of elements which correspond to an *index* (a page number). For instance if | |
| 102 you have 123 elements, you can ask them 10 by 10, and *index 1* match elements from 11 to | |
| 103 20 included. | |
| 104 | |
| 105 | |
| 106 ``-a ITEM_ID, --after ITEM_ID`` | |
| 107 find page after this item. You usually use the last item id of the latest page you got. | |
| 108 | |
| 109 ``-b ITEM_ID, --before ITEM_ID`` | |
| 110 find page before this item. This this usually used when you check items backwards | |
| 111 | |
| 112 ``--index RSM_INDEX`` | |
| 113 index of the page to retrieve. Note that first page has index **0**. | |
| 114 | |
| 115 ``-m RSM_MAX, --max RSM_MAX`` | |
| 116 used to specify a maxium number of items to retrieve per page. Note that the actual | |
| 117 maximum number of items per page used may be lower if the service used consider that | |
| 118 your request is too big. | |
| 119 | |
| 120 message archive management | |
| 121 ========================== | |
| 122 | |
| 123 Message Archive Management (MAM) argument is used by some commands (related to instant message or | |
| 124 pubsub) to filter results. | |
| 125 | |
| 126 There is currently only one argument in this group: | |
| 127 | |
| 128 ``-f FILTER_NAME VALUE, --filter FILTER_NAME VALUE`` | |
| 129 specify a MAM filter to use. Depending on the service supporting MAM, some filters can | |
| 130 be used to do things like full text search. The available filters depend on the service | |
| 131 you use, please check documentation of your service. | |
| 132 | |
| 133 order-by | |
| 134 ======== | |
| 135 | |
| 2957 | 136 Order-By argument specify how the returned elements are sorted. |
| 2946 | 137 |
| 138 There is currently only one argument in this group: | |
| 139 | |
| 140 ``-o {creation,modification}, --order-by {creation,modification}`` | |
| 141 specify how result is sorted. with ``creation``, first created element is returned | |
| 142 first. There is no notion of *creation* of *modification* in original | |
| 143 `pubsub XEP <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html>`_, as publishing an item with an | |
| 144 existing id will overwrite the older one, creating a new item. With this option, we use | |
| 145 the terms defined in `XEP-0413 <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0413.html>`_, and | |
| 146 *creation* time is the time when the first item has been published, before being | |
| 147 overwritten. | |
| 148 | |
| 149 In the case of ``modification``, if an item is overwritten, it reappears on top, this is | |
| 150 the default pubsub sorting order. | |
| 151 | |
| 152 progress | |
| 153 ======== | |
| 154 | |
| 155 This single option may be used when a long operation is happening, like a file transfer. | |
| 156 | |
| 157 ``-P, --progress`` | |
| 158 Show progress bar. | |
| 159 | |
| 160 verbose | |
| 161 ======= | |
| 162 | |
| 163 ``--verbose, -v`` | |
| 164 Add a verbosity level (can be used multiple times). Use to have more concise output by | |
| 165 default when it makes sense. | |

| 2946 | 169 draft |
| 170 ===== | |
| 171 | |
| 172 Common arguments used when an edition is potentially long to do, and a file may be kept | |
| 173 until publication. | |
| 174 | |
| 175 | |
| 176 ``-D, --current`` | |
| 177 Used when you have started to edit something (e.g. a blog post), which is not yet | |
| 178 published, and you want to continue your work. | |

| 3609 | 223 Time Pattern |
| 224 ============ | |
| 225 | |
| 226 When a command expect a date or date with time argument, you can use a "time pattern" (you | |
| 227 usually see the ``TIME_PATTERN`` as name of the argument in ``--help`` message when it can | |
| 228 be used). | |
| 229 | |
| 230 This is a flexible way to enter a date, you can enter a date in one of the following way: | |
| 231 | |
| 232 - the string ``now`` to indicate current date and time; | |
| 233 - an absolute date using an international format. The parser know many formats (please | |
| 234 check dateutil_ package documentation to have a detail of supported formats). Please | |
| 235 note that days are specified first and that if no time zone is specified, the local | |
| 236 time zone of your computer is assumed; | |
| 237 - a relative date (or "relative delta"), see below for details on how to construct it; | |
| 238 - a reference time (``now`` or absolute date as above) followed by a relative delta. If | |
| 239 the reference time is not specified, ``now`` is used; | |
| 240 | |
| 241 Time pattern is not case sensitive. | |
| 242 | |
| 243 .. _dateutil: https://dateutil.readthedocs.io | |
| 244 | |
| 245 Relative Delta | |
| 246 -------------- | |
| 247 | |
| 248 A relative delta is specified with: | |
| 249 | |
| 250 - an optional direction ``+`` for times after reference time or ``-`` for time before reference time (defaulting to ``+``); | |
| 251 - a number for the quantity of units | |
| 252 - a unit (e.g. seconds or minutes), see the bellow for details | |
| 253 - the word ``ago`` which is same as using ``-`` for direction (direction and ``ago`` can't | |
| 254 be used at the same time) | |
| 255 | |
| 256 Time Units | |
| 257 ---------- | |
| 258 | |
| 259 The singular or plural form of following units can be used: | |
| 260 | |
| 261 - ``s``, ``sec``, ``second`` | |
| 262 - ``m``, ``min``, ``minute`` | |
| 263 - ``h``, ``hr``, ``hour`` | |
| 264 - ``d``, ``day`` | |
| 265 - ``w``, ``week`` | |
| 266 - ``mo``, ``month`` | |
| 267 - ``y``, ``yr``, ``year`` | |
| 268 | |
| 269 examples | |
| 270 -------- | |
| 271 | |
| 272 - ``2022-01-01``: first of January of 2022 at midnight | |
| 273 - ``2017-02-10T13:05:00Z``: 10th of February 2017 at 13:05 UTC | |
| 274 - ``2019-07-14 12:00:00 CET``: 14th of July 2019 at 12:00 CET | |
| 275 - ``10 min ago``: current time minus 10 minutes | |
| 276 - ``now - 10 m``: same as above (current time minus 10 minutes) | |
| 277 - ``07/08/2021 +5 hours``: 7 August 2021 at midnight (local time of the computer) + 5 | |
| 278 hours, i.e. 5 in the morning at local time. | |
| 279 |
