=item B<lastBeaconSent>

The time, in seconds since the Epoch, the coordinator last requested a vote message.

and voting has not yet begun, this will be 0.

=item B<lastVote>

True if the last vote was yes; false if the last vote was no.

1 if the site has the database with the highest version number, 0 if it does not.

=item B<up>

Including the B<long> flag produces peer entries even when the B<server>
argument names a secondary site, but in that case only the ip address is
guaranteed to be accurate. For example, the value in the B<remoteVersion> field
is usually 0.0, because secondary sites do not poll their peers for this
information. The values in the B<lastVoteTime> and B<lastBeaconSent> fields
indicate when this site last received or requested a vote as coordinator; they
generally indicate the time of the last coordinator election.

For further details of interpreting the contents of the returned hash
reference, and an example of printing its entire contents in a readable
format, refer to the B<udebug> script in the B<examples> directory.
