Gets the communication status of the friend specified with friendData. The GameSpy server sends a notification each time the friend's communication status changes. This is saved in the internal cache of the DWC library. Therefore, this function references that status and does not perform any communications.
A player's communication status is made up of the status flag returned as this function's return value and the status string passed with the statusString argument. The player status is managed on the GameSpy server. In addition to these, server host-specific information is included during server-client matchmaking. Although the status flag and the server host-specific information are automatically set by the DWC library, applications can set their own status string using the DWC_SetOwnStatusString function.
Use the DWC_GetFriendStatus function if there is no need to get information specific to server-client matchmaking. Also, for applications where binary data (rather than strings such as statusString) is set with the DWC_SetOwnStatusData function, get the binary data using the DWC_GetFriendStatusData or DWC_GetFriendStatusDataSC function.
