class Client:
    r"""Represents a client connection that connects to Discord.
    This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

    .. container:: operations

        .. describe:: async with x

            Asynchronously initialises the client and automatically cleans up.

            .. versionadded:: 2.0

    A number of options can be passed to the :class:`Client`.

    Parameters
    -----------
    max_messages: Optional[:class:`int`]
        The maximum number of messages to store in the internal message cache.
        This defaults to ``1000``. Passing in ``None`` disables the message cache.

        .. versionchanged:: 1.3
            Allow disabling the message cache and change the default size to ``1000``.
    proxy: Optional[:class:`str`]
        Proxy URL.
    proxy_auth: Optional[:class:`aiohttp.BasicAuth`]
        An object that represents proxy HTTP Basic Authorization.
    shard_id: Optional[:class:`int`]
        Integer starting at ``0`` and less than :attr:`.shard_count`.
    shard_count: Optional[:class:`int`]
        The total number of shards.
    application_id: :class:`int`
        The client's application ID.
    intents: :class:`Intents`
        The intents that you want to enable for the session. This is a way of
        disabling and enabling certain gateway events from triggering and being sent.

        .. versionadded:: 1.5

        .. versionchanged:: 2.0
            Parameter is now required.
    member_cache_flags: :class:`MemberCacheFlags`
        Allows for finer control over how the library caches members.
        If not given, defaults to cache as much as possible with the
        currently selected intents.

        .. versionadded:: 1.5
    chunk_guilds_at_startup: :class:`bool`
        Indicates if :func:`.on_ready` should be delayed to chunk all guilds
        at start-up if necessary. This operation is incredibly slow for large
        amounts of guilds. The default is ``True`` if :attr:`Intents.members`
        is ``True``.

        .. versionadded:: 1.5
    status: Optional[:class:`.Status`]
        A status to start your presence with upon logging on to Discord.
    activity: Optional[:class:`.BaseActivity`]
        An activity to start your presence with upon logging on to Discord.
    allowed_mentions: Optional[:class:`AllowedMentions`]
        Control how the client handles mentions by default on every message sent.

        .. versionadded:: 1.4
    heartbeat_timeout: :class:`float`
        The maximum numbers of seconds before timing out and restarting the
        WebSocket in the case of not receiving a HEARTBEAT_ACK. Useful if
        processing the initial packets take too long to the point of disconnecting
        you. The default timeout is 60 seconds.
    guild_ready_timeout: :class:`float`
        The maximum number of seconds to wait for the GUILD_CREATE stream to end before
        preparing the member cache and firing READY. The default timeout is 2 seconds.

        .. versionadded:: 1.4
    assume_unsync_clock: :class:`bool`
        Whether to assume the system clock is unsynced. This applies to the ratelimit handling
        code. If this is set to ``True``, the default, then the library uses the time to reset
        a rate limit bucket given by Discord. If this is ``False`` then your system clock is
        used to calculate how long to sleep for. If this is set to ``False`` it is recommended to
        sync your system clock to Google's NTP server.

        .. versionadded:: 1.3
    enable_debug_events: :class:`bool`
        Whether to enable events that are useful only for debugging gateway related information.

        Right now this involves :func:`on_socket_raw_receive` and :func:`on_socket_raw_send`. If
        this is ``False`` then those events will not be dispatched (due to performance considerations).
        To enable these events, this must be set to ``True``. Defaults to ``False``.

        .. versionadded:: 2.0
    http_trace: :class:`aiohttp.TraceConfig`
        The trace configuration to use for tracking HTTP requests the library does using ``aiohttp``.
        This allows you to check requests the library is using. For more information, check the
        `aiohttp documentation <https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_advanced.html#client-tracing>`_.

        .. versionadded:: 2.0
    max_ratelimit_timeout: Optional[:class:`float`]
        The maximum number of seconds to wait when a non-global rate limit is encountered.
        If a request requires sleeping for more than the seconds passed in, then
        :exc:`~discord.RateLimited` will be raised. By default, there is no timeout limit.
        In order to prevent misuse and unnecessary bans, the minimum value this can be
        set to is ``30.0`` seconds.

        .. versionadded:: 2.0

        GatewayNotFound
            If the gateway to connect to Discord is not found. Usually if this

        Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

        This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message,
        or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained
        way.

        The ``timeout`` parameter is passed onto :func:`asyncio.wait_for`. By default,
        it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the
        :exc:`asyncio.TimeoutError` for you in case of timeout and is provided for
        ease of use.

        In case the event returns multiple arguments, a :class:`tuple` containing those
        arguments is returned instead. Please check the
        :ref:`documentation <discord-api-events>` for a list of events and their
        parameters.

        This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**.

        Examples
        ---------

        Waiting for a thumbs up reaction from the message author: ::

            A predicate to check what to wait for. The arguments must meet the
            parameters of the event being waited for.
        timeout: Optional[:class:`float`]
