6b59e728 1291 Introduction
130**************
2e20c3e1 131
528799bd 132Bobot++ is a powerful IRC bot written in C++. It can be used standalone
133as a channel maintenence bot, or extended to do almost anything using
134Scheme scripts.
135
136 FIXME: Fill the intro in more?

6b59e728 1412 Configuration
142***************
ad529fde 143
c8f13c06 144Bobot++ is easy to configure. See the `examples' directory for an
145example configuration.
ad529fde 146
e45daca1 147 The main configuration file is `bot.conf'. There are several
148auxiliary configuration files (a user list, aliases file, ban list, and
149a script autoexec).

1592.1 Configuration File Placement
160================================
161
162Bobot++ will look in `/etc/bobotpp/default/' for its default config if
163none is specified on the command line. Put the configuration files you
e45daca1 164want to be loaded by default in this directory. If you are not root, or
4679dc8b 165you want to have your own personal configuration, put it in
166`~/.bobotpp/config/default/'.

6b59e728 186--------------
e171dcce 187
e45daca1 188`bot.conf' contains key value pairs separated by `='.
c7d9fb19 189
190 `<key> = <value>'
191
192 Comments are started with a `#' and cause the entire line to be
193ignored. _Note that this only works when the `#' is the first character
194of the line_.
195
196 bot.conf is the main configuration file for a Bobot++. The available
e171dcce 197configuration variables are listed below in the format "VARIABLE
198<default-value>: description"
199
e45daca1 200 A few of the options have more complex syntax, they are documented in
201their own subsections.

206* channel syntax::
207
528799bd 208 * MAXNICKLENGTH <9>: The maximum length a valid nickname may be.
209 This should be set before setting the bot's nickname if it will be
210 more than nine characters long. Most IRC servers support nicknames
211 longer than nine characters, but Bobot++ still follows the old spec
212 and defaults to nine.
213
e171dcce 214 * NICKNAME <Bobot>: The nickname of the bot (NICK is an alias for
215 NICKNAME)
216
217 * USERNAME <bobot>: The IRC username of the bot
218
219 * CMDCHAR <!>: The character that prefixes commands given to the bot
220 (COMMAND is an alias for CMDCHAR)
221
222 * IRCNAME <I'm a bobot++!>: The IRC name (or 'real name') of the bot
223 (REALNAME is an alias for IRCNAME)
224

228 code to be executed when the bot starts (only used if the bot is
229 compiled with scripting support)
230
231 * INITFILE <bot.init>: Name of the file containing the default
232 command aliases
233
e45daca1 234 * SHITLIST <bot.shit>: Name of the file where the shitlist (ban
235 list) is stored
e171dcce 236

238 to `/dev/null' to disable logging).
239
e45daca1 240 * SERVER <None>: This specifies the server to which the bot will
241 connect. Note that this has a special syntax *note server syntax::.

4679dc8b 2502.2.1.1 server syntax
6b59e728 251.....................
c7d9fb19 252
e45daca1 253The server syntax in `bot.conf' allows you to specify an alternate port
254to connect on, and a password to send the server.
255
256 You may use more than one server line; Bobot++ will attempt to
257connect to the first one, and will connect to the next one in the list
258if it fails. The bot will continue cycling through the server list
259until it is able to connect to one. There is a command (`!cycle') to
260make the bot to cycle servers.
261
262 SERVER = SERVER_NAME [PORT [PASSWORD]]
c7d9fb19 263
264 This will make Bobot++ attempt to connect to SERVER_NAME on port
265PORT with the password PASSWORD. SERVER_NAME should be the address of
e45daca1 266the server. PORT and PASSWORD are optional.

4679dc8b 2712.2.1.2 channel syntax
6b59e728 272......................
c7d9fb19 273
e45daca1 274The channel syntax in `bot.conf' allows you to specify the initial
275modes the bot should set on a channel, the modes the bot should
276maintain, and a key if the channel needs it.
c7d9fb19 277
278 You may have any number of channel lines. When Bobot++ starts it will
e45daca1 279attempt to join and gain operator status in every channel listed.
280
281 CHANNEL = NAME:INITIAL_MODES:MODES_TO_KEEP:CHANNEL_KEY
282
283 The bot will join NAME and set the channel modes to INITIAL_MODES
284(e.g. "nt") if it is able to gain operator status. It will then
285maintain MODES_TO_KEEP. If the channel requires a key to enter simply
286set CHANNEL_KEY. Every argument except for NAME is optional.
c7d9fb19 287
288 A few example lines:
289
e45daca1 290 CHANNEL = #foo:nt:nt:bar
c7d9fb19 291
292 The bot will join `#foo' with the channel key `bar' and will then
293maintain the modes `nt'.
294
e45daca1 295 CHANNEL = #bar:::
e171dcce 296
c7d9fb19 297 The bot will join `#bar' and will not set any modes nor will it
298attempt to maintain any modes.

528799bd 3032.2.2 bot.users (User List)
304---------------------------
c8f13c06 305
306`bot.users' is the default file name of the userlist. It may be changed
9b2fe824 307in `bot.conf' via the USERLIST option. *You must add an entry for
308yourself manually.* You will probably want to add other entries using
309the IRC command interface as it is more intuitive than editing the file
310by hand.
528799bd 311
312 The file contains lines with the format:
c8f13c06 313
528799bd 314 `HOST_MASK:CHANNEL_MASK:LEVEL:PROTECTION:AUTO-OP:EXPIRATION:PASSWORD'
c8f13c06 315
528799bd 316 * HOST_MASK is the host mask (e.g. `*!*username
c8f13c06 317 .domain.com') of the user
318
528799bd 319 * CHANNEL_MASK is a channel mask of the channels that the user has
c8f13c06 320 priviliges to use the bot in (e.g. `*' for all channels, `#*' for
321 all non-local channel, `#foo*' for all channels starting with
322 "foo," `#bar' for channel "#bar" only, etc.)
323
324 * LEVEL is the user level of the user (*Note User Levels::).
325
326 * PROTECTION is the protection level of the user (*Note
327 Protection::).
328
329 * AUTO-OP is set to control whether a user is automatically given
330 operator priviliges on channel entry (*Note Automatic Op::).
331
528799bd 332 * EXPIRATION is the UNIX timestamp of when the user entry becomes
333 invalid. Setting this to -1 will make the entry permanent.
334
335 * PASSWORD is the password the user must supply to the bot to
336 authenticate. This can be set to `*NONE*' to not have a password.

3422.2.3 bot.init (Command Aliases)
343--------------------------------
344
345This file stores a list of IRC command aliases. The filename may be
346changed in `bot.conf' via the INITFILE option. You use this file to set
347up aliases for IRC commands, e.g. to make `!a' call `!adduser'. This
348way you can save typing for commonly used commands.
349
350 The format of a line in the file is: ALIAS COMMAND
351
352 This will make ALIAS call COMMAND. e.g. `t topic' will make `!t New
353Topic' set the current channel's topic to "New Topic," just as if you
354had used `!topic New Topic'.

360-------------------------------------
361
362This file is only used when Bobot++ is compiled with scripting support.
363The name of the autoexec file can be changed in `bot.conf' via the
364AUTOEXECFILE option.
365
366 The contents of this file are evaluated by Guile when the bot
367starts. You can use this to do things like loading a few default
368modules when the bot starts.

528799bd 374------------------------------
375
9b2fe824 376This file stores the ban list. The name may be changed in `bot.conf'
377via the SHITLIST option. You will most likely want to use the IRC
378command interface to edit this file instead of editing it directly.
528799bd 379
380 The file contains lines in the form:
381
382 `HOST_MASK:CHANNEL_MASK:LEVEL:EXPIRATION:REASON'
383
384 * HOST_MASK is the host mask (e.g. `*!*username
385 .domain.com') of the user
386
387 * CHANNEL_MASK is a channel mask of the channels that the user is
388 banned on (e.g. `*' for all channels, `#*' for all non-local
389 channel, `#foo*' for all channels starting with "foo," `#bar' for
390 channel "#bar" only, etc.
391
392 * LEVEL is a number specifying if the bot should not allow the user
393 to gain ops, to kick the user upon joining, or to prevent the user
394 from being debanned by other users. *Note Shit Levels:: for
395 information on the available levels.
396
397 * EXPIRATION is the UNIX timestamp of when the shit entry becomes
398 invalid. This may be set to -1 to make it valid forever.
399
400 * REASON is text that is sent to the user when they are kicked or
401 banned from the channel.

6b59e728 4073 Using Bobot++
408***************
e07b6b46 409
9b2fe824 410Using Bobot++ is easy. This chapter covers starting the bot, a few
411Bobot++ specific concepts, and using the built-in commands of the bot.

6b59e728 421
4223.1 Starting the Bot
423====================
424
425The bot is usually installed with the binary name `bobotpp'. It accepts
e45daca1 426the following command line arguments.
6b59e728 427
428 * `[--help][-h]' - Shows detailed help and exits
429
430 * `[--version][-v]' - Shows version information and exits
431
432 * `[--no-background][-b]' - Run bobot++ in the foreground
433
434 * `[--config-file file][-f]' - Use file instead of `bot.conf'
435
436 * `[--config-dir dir][-d]' - Use dir as dir to load config file from
437
438 * `[--config dir][-c]' - Search your config path (defaults to
439 `$HOME/.bobotpp/config/' and then `/etc/bobotpp/') for dir and
440 then loads your config data using dir
441
442 * `[--sys-config dir][-s]' - Looks for config in `/etc/bobotpp/dir'.
443 Note that the user dir is still searched first
444
445 * `[--user-config dir][-u]' - Looks for config in
446 `$HOME/.bobotpp/config/dir/'. Note that the system dir is still
447 searched after this if dir is not found.
448
449 * `[--debug][-D]' Makes Bobot++ print debugging info and run in the
450 foreground
e07b6b46 451
528799bd 452 * `[--debug-scripts][-S]' Enables the Guile debugging evaluator for
4da877a5 453 verbose script errors and backtraces while still running the bot
454 in the background.
455
6b59e728 456 The default configuration is read from
457`$HOME/.bobotpp/config/default/' and then `/etc/bobotpp/default/' if
458the user config is not found.
459
460 The bot defaults to running in the background as a daemon.

5205c0b0 5123.2.4.1 User Levels
513...................
e07b6b46 514
c8f13c06 515There are several user levels available in Bobot++ to provide gradated
516access to commands. `!adduser' and `bot.users' use the numeric code;
e45daca1 517Scheme uses the textual name for the level. By default (if the user is
518not found in the userlist) a user has access to commands with the level
519`bot:user-none'.
c8f13c06 520
521 0. `bot:user-none' - No *built-in* commands may be executed _by
522 default_ (commands may be added from Scheme that can be executed
523 by users of level none and the level required to execute a command
524 may be changed from Scheme).
525
526 1. `bot:user-user' - Will be able to execute most commands but not
527 all and cannot use masks on kicks and bans.
528
529 2. `bot:user-trusted' - For built-ins with a default configuration
530 this user has access to the same set of commands as an `user' but
531 may use masks on kicks and bans. Scheme commands may be added
532 which require a user to be of this level.
533
534 3. `bot:user-friend' - In the default configuration a user who is a
535 friend will be able to do everything short of stopping the bot.
536 Again, there may be user added commands that require a higher user
537 level.
538

6b59e728 604=====================
605
606Bobot++ has many built-in commands that make it useful without
607scripting support. The reference leaves off the command char; remember
5205c0b0 608to use whatever you defined the command char to be in `bot.conf'.
609
610 If a command needs the channel name then you must specify the channel
611as the first argument to the command when private messaging the bot a
2b0ae8fd 612command. If, however, you are using the command in a channel you may
613omit the channel argument, and the bot will use the current channel.

5a8b0ec6 863Bobot++'s most powerful feature is its scripting system. You write
ad529fde 864scripts using Guile Scheme. This manual does not cover how to use Guile
865or how to learn Scheme. *Note Guile Reference Manual: (guile)Top, for
866the Guile reference manual and
6b59e728 867`http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/t-y-scheme/t-y-scheme.html' for a
ad529fde 868good tutorial on Scheme.
869
439869bf 870 Note that in previous versions the scripting commands where in the
871form `bot-FUNCTION'. They are now in the form `bot:FUNCTION'. The old
872names are still available, but are deprecated and will be removed in
c8f13c06 873Bobot++ 3.0. New commands are only available with the `bot:' prefix.
874The command `perl -pi -e ``s/bot-/bot:/g'' YOUR-FILES' should be enough
875to convert your code to use the new functions.

6b59e728 8924.1 Adding New Commands
893=======================
439869bf 894
5a8b0ec6 895Adding a new command is simple. To register a new command use
9efc3706 896`bot:addcommand'.
897
898 -- Function: bot:addcommand name func needs-channel? num-of-args
899 min-level
900 The NAME is a string representing the name of the command being
901 added. FUNC is a function accepting NUM-OF-ARGS arguments.
902 NEEDS-CHANNEL? is a bool that is true if the function needs the
903 channel name as its first arg, and false otherwise. NUM-OF-ARGS
904 is the number of args FUNC will take and must be within zero (0)
528799bd 905 and twenty (20). MIN-LEVEL is one of the *Note User Levels::. A
906 user must be at least a MIN-LEVEL user to use the new command.
907 None of the arguments are guaranteed to be passed; if they aren't
908 they are set to the empty string `""'. An example of a new
909 command would be:
9efc3706 910
911 (define (hello channel name)
912 (if (string=? name "")
913 (bot:say channel "Hello world!")
914 (bot:say channel (string-append "Hello " name "!")))
915
916 (bot:addcommand "hello" hello #t 2 0)
917
918 This will display "Hello World!" if called as `!hello' and "Hello
ae97d6ec 919 World USER" if called as `!hello USER'.

6b59e728 9244.2 Hooks
925=========
439869bf 926
5a8b0ec6 927Hooks are a powerful feature of Bobot++. Hooks are a hybrid of ircII
6530edbf 928and tiny fugue (a MUD bot) hooks with a little bit of extra stuff added
02341ea9 929in. A hook is called when a regular expression is matched against a
930message sent to or by the bot.
931
932 Bobot++ uses different hook types for each IRC message type, and also
933includes a hook for accessing raw irc messages. Hooks are tagged with a
934priority and a flag that specifies whether to call the next hook that
935matches after calling the current one or to stop processing.
936
937 Hooks are processed from the highest to lowest priority, with
938fallthrough hooks of equal priority to non-fallthrough hooks being
939executed first.

950---------------------
439869bf 951
9efc3706 952To add a new hook you use the function `bot:addhook'.
953
954 -- Function: bot:addhook type regex function [pri fall name]
955 TYPE specifies the type of hook (the types of hooks are listed in
ae97d6ec 956 *Note Hook Types::).
957
958 REGEX is a standard regular expression. If REGEX is matched,
959 FUNCTION will be called.
960
961 FUNCTION will take a different number of args depending on the
962 hook type.
963
964 PRI specifies the priority of the hook--higher priority hooks are
965 executed first. This argument is optional and defaults to `0'.
966
967 FALL is `#t' if the hook is a fallthrough hook and `#f' is the
968 hook is not a fallthrough hook. This arg is also optional and
969 defaults to `#t'.
970
971 NAME is the optional name of the hook that defaults to
972 `"DEFAULT"'. If you set the name then you can have more than one
973 hook that matches the same regexp, as long as they have the same
974 name. E.g. in a log script you could have the regexps for the log
975 function all be `".*"' and set their names to `"log"' to avoid a
976 conflict with other hooks.

1012
1013 TO is the target of the action, which is either a channel or the
1014 Bot's nick if the user private messages the bot.
1015
1016 ACTION is the text of the action. E.g. if someone did `* foobar
1017 does baz', then ACTION would be the string `"does baz"'.

1044 the bot has sent a CTCP request to another client. The CTCP REPLY
1045 is always addressed to the bot directly.
439869bf 1046
ae97d6ec 1047 NICK is the nickname of the person who replied.
439869bf 1048
ae97d6ec 1049 COMMAND is the command to which NICK is replying.

6b59e728 1266====================
e07b6b46 1267
5a8b0ec6 1268There are several types of messages you can send with Bobot++ from
528799bd 1269scripts. They are split into High and Low level message sending
1270functions. Most bots will only use the high level functions, but the
1271low level ones are provided for when a bot needs to do things like send
1272raw IRC messages or CTCP commands.

1289 -- Function: bot:say target message
1290 Send a public or private message to TARGET.
1291
1292 TARGET may be a channel or a nickname.
1293
1294 In versions of Bobot++ prior to 2.1.8 `bot:say' could only send to
1295 channels, and `bot:msg' could only send private messages to users.
1296 They are aliases of the same command now, but it may be worth
1297 using them as they used to for clarity.

e07b6b46 1308
5a8b0ec6 1309The "Low Level" messaging functions allow you to do things like send
fed59248 1310CTCP messages. You probably want to read rfc 2812 and the CTCP spec
e07b6b46 1311before using these. If you have no idea what these do, read rfc 2812
1312(IRC Client Protocol) and CTCP spec. These functions all return
1313`*unspecified*' always, so don't use the return value for anything.

1336 If you want to execute code when the bot exits, just do `add-hook!
1337bot:exit-hook THUNK' where THUNK is an argumentless procedure (a
1338thunk). When the bot exits your thunk will be called.
