# Audio::MPD::Common::Status(3pm)

class representing MPD status

## NAME

Audio::MPD::Common::Status - class representing MPD status

## VERSION

version 2.003

## DESCRIPTION

The MPD server maintains some information on its current state. Those information can be queried with mpd modules. Some of those information are served to you as an Audio::MPD::Common::Status object.

An Audio::MPD::Common::Status object does **not** update itself regularly, and thus should be used immediately.

Note: one should **never** ever instantiate an Audio::MPD::Common::Status object directly - use the mpd modules instead.
