Notification from the server that the list of players in the current room has been modified since the last update, or that a table has been added, removed or changed its state, or that a room or game type has been added or removed.
Update type. Can be 'player' or 'table' for room updates, or 'room' or 'game' for server updates.
Action to do. Can be either 'add' or 'delete' for players, and 'join' or 'status' for tables. For 'room' and 'game' updates, 'add' and 'delete' are possible.
Room to which the update applies. Only used for types 'player' and 'table'.
An UPDATE tag is sent from the server to the client if the list of players or tables in the current room has changed since the last update. It is not sent upon initial entry to a room. To obtain a player or table list upon entering a room, the client must send a LIST of type 'player' or 'table'. The UPDATE tag contains one or more tags of type PLAYER or TABLE, respectively. The two other types, updates of type ROOM or GAME, no client request exists; instead, a reconfiguration of the server leads to such updates.
