Documentation
Most methods of ToxCore, ToxAV and ToxDNS classes well documented in original tox.h, toxav.h and toxdns.h.

Additional non libtoxcore api methods and callbacks described below.
ToxCore
tox_keypair_new
Return new (public_key, secret_key) tuple. Used to create new tox account.
tox_keypair_new()
tox_public_key_restore
Return public key restored from secret key.
tox_public_key_restore(secret_key)
tox_nospam_new
Return new random nospam value as hex-string.
tox_nospam_new()
tox_address_new
Return ToxID from public key and nospam value.
tox_address_new(public_key, nospam)
tox_address_check
Check given ToxID and throws exception if address is invalid.
tox_address_check(address)
tox_sendfile
Send file identified by path to a friend like system sendfile. Return file_number on success like original tox_file_send. Call tox_sendfile_cb callback (see below).
tox_sendfile(friend_number, kind, path, filename, timeout)
tox_sendfile_cb
This event is triggered when tox_sendfile call finished.
tox_sendfile_cb(friend_number, file_number, path, filename, status)
status may be one of:
TOX_SENDFILE_COMPLETED- call finished successfully;TOX_SENDFILE_TIMEOUT- send timeout occured;TOX_SENDFILE_ERROR- filesystem, toxcore or other error.
tox_recvfile
Receive file from a friend and store it to path. Call tox_recvfile_cb callback (see below).
tox_recvfile(friend_number, file_number, file_size, path, filename, timeout)
tox_recvfile_cb
This event is triggered when tox_recvfile call finished.
tox_recvfile_cb(friend_number, file_number, path, filename, status)
status may be one of:
TOX_RECVFILE_COMPLETED- call finished successfully;TOX_RECVFILE_TIMEOUT- receive timeout occured;TOX_RECVFILE_ERROR- filesystem, toxcore or other error.
ToxAV
toxav_video_frame_format_set
Set video frame format for toxav_video_receive_frame_cb callback (see below).
toxav_video_frame_format_set(format)
Format may be one of:
TOXAV_VIDEO_FRAME_FORMAT_BGR- BGR frame format;TOXAV_VIDEO_FRAME_FORMAT_RGB- RGB frame format;TOXAV_VIDEO_FRAME_FORMAT_YUV420- (default) YUV420 format.
toxav_video_send_frame
Original toxav_video_send_frame method splitted into three to send frame in BGR, RGB and YUV420 (default) formats.
toxav_video_send_bgr_frame(friend_number, width, height, bgr)
toxav_video_send_rgb_frame(friend_number, width, height, rgb)
toxav_video_send_yuv420_frame(friend_number, width, height, y, u, v)
toxav_video_receive_frame_cb
This event is triggered when a video frame received. First for RGB/BGR video frame format, second for YUV420 (default).
toxav_video_receive_frame_cb(friend_number, width, height, rgb)
toxav_video_receive_frame_cb(friend_number, width, height, y, u, v, ystride, ustride, vstride)
