457The different fields are Path, Pl, PlM, IM, TO, Dif and Reset. They mean:

459Path: The last part of the map path 465Shows a list of maps matching the regex <mapname> that are currently being
460Pl: Players on the map. 466known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
461PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl). 467
462IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk, 468=over 4
4633) currently loading or 4) currently saving. 469
464TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk. 470=item Pl: the number of players on that map currently.
465Dif: Map difficulty. 471
466Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 472=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
473
474The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
47540 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
476most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
477currently being loaded, but that's rare, as loading a map is fast.
478
479=item Svd: the amount of seconds since the map was last saved (++ means >99).
480
481The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
482it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
483emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
484
485=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
486
487Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
488reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map. Some
489maps will never reset in the common sense, these are usually marked with a
490very high number (such as C<1e+99>).

552Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided

554per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
555hold back less important information (such as new images) to increase
556responsiveness.
557
558The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
559server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
560bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
561the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
