> [!NOTE]
>
> * Wire-equal to `POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/info` with `{"type": "exchangeStatus"}`.
> * `specialStatuses` is `null` under normal operation and carries status flags only when the exchange is in a special state.
> * This is a global, non-user-keyed type; `time` reflects the exchange's current clock.

Returns the current operational status of the exchange. Under normal operation specialStatuses is null; a non-null value signals that the exchange is in a special state. The time field is the exchange's current timestamp, useful for detecting clock skew or a stalled feed.
