459Pl: Players on the map. 440known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
460PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 441
461IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, 442=over 4

464Dif: Map difficulty. 445
465Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 446=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
447
448The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
44940 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
450most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
451currently being loaded, but that's rare, as loading a map is fast.
452
453=item Svd: the amount of seconds since the map was last saved (++ means >99).
454
455The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
456it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
457emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
458
459=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
460
461Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
462reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map. Some
463maps will never reset in the common sense, these are usually marked with a
464very high number (such as C<1e+99>).

526Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
527value. The server will try very hard not to send more than this many bytes
528per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
529hold back less important information (such as new images) to increase
530responsiveness.
531
532The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
533server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
534bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
535the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
536output-rate is not required.
