    # Sets the fantasy command prefix for the main PyLink bot. To configure fantasy prefixes for
    # other service bots, add or modify the "prefix:" option in the configuration section of each
    # plugin. (see the "games:" block for an example)
    # Note: prior to PyLink 1.2, defining a prefix here made it global for all service bots. This
    # was removed because it called all bots in a channel at once (even if they have conflicting
    # commands), which usually leads to one successful reply and a string of "Command not found"
    # errors.

login:
    # NOTE: for users migrating from PyLink < 1.1, the old login:user/login:password settings
    # have been deprecated. We strongly recommend migrating to the new "accounts:" block below, as
    # it supports multiple accounts, hashed passwords, and allows more flexibility (accounts no
    # longer imply admin access).

    # IMPORTANT: If you're switching from login:user/login:password, you MUST ADD YOURSELF to a

    # PyLink daemon!
    accounts:
        # Creates an account with username "user1". You can define other usernames at the

permissions:
    # Permissions blocks in PyLink are define as a mapping of PyLink targets (i.e. hostmasks or
    # exttargets) to lists of permission nodes. You can find a list of permissions that PyLink and
    # its plugins define in docs/permissions-reference.md. Exttargets (extended targets) are
    # documented further in docs/exttargets.md

    # Permissions blocks look something like this:
    #"*!user@host":
    #    - "permission.node.1"
    #    - "permission.node.2"
    #    - "someplugin.*"  # Wildcards are also supported in names

    # Replace ABC123 with your PyLink account name (configured above in order to give yourself admin

    # "$pylinkirc:<accountname>" (i.e. the "$pylinkirc:" prefix is implied).
    "ABC123":
        - "*"

# This option determines whether plugin-determined default permissions should be enabled.
# You should generally only disable this if you need to configure permissions in a specific way,

        # This defaults to false (bad certs are rejected) on Clientbot and true for server protocols

        # Defines the SASL timeout - this defaults to 15 seconds.
        #sasl_timeout: 15

        # If this option is enabled, the bot will attempt SASL authentication even after it's
        # connected, as services become available throughout netsplits and reconnects.
        # Note: This requires an IRC server capable of IRCv3.2 cap-notify and sasl:

changehost:
    # This block configures the Changehost plugin. You don't need this if you

    # Sets the networks where Changehost should be enabled. Please note: changehost does NOT support
    # arbitrarily cloaking clients introduced by PyLink (e.g. relay clients), as doing so would make
    # ban matching impossible. In these cases, it is the remote admin's job to turn on cloaking on

    enforce_exceptions:

    # Determines whether Changehost rules should also match the host portion of a mask by IP and

    # This sets the hostmasks that Changehost should look for. Whenever someone with a matching nick!user@host

    # If tag_nicks is False, this specifies a list of NICK globs that network tags should be added

    # the pool will receive IPs from that network too.
    # You should generally have a consensus among your linked networks as to which
    # network should be in which pool. A network can be part of one pool, multiple
    # pools, or none at all.
    # This option replaces the "relay::show_ips" and network-specific "relay_no_ips"

    # in the pool.
    # You should generally have a consensus among your linked networks as to which
    # network should be in which pool.
    # When a kill is sent to a target not sharing any kill pool with the sender's network,

    # False.
    allow_clientbot_pms: false

    # Sets whether Clientbot mode sync will be enabled. Valid options:
    # "full" - Sync bans, ban/invite exceptions, prefix modes, and all RFC1459-standard modes. The

    # "half" - Sync only bans, ban/invite exceptions, and prefix modes. The bot will need op in the
    #          Clientbot channel for this to work both ways.
    # "none" - Turns off mode sync. This is the default.
    #
    # Note: when mode sync is enabled and the bot is opped, CLAIM protection will be enforced across

    #spawn_service: true

    prefix: "@"

    # Determines whether this bot should respond to its nick (requires spawn_services to be set and the

        # Punishments not supported in a context or network (e.g. kicking for PM spam or "quiet"
        # on a network that doesn't support it) will be silently dropped if others succeed.

        # Valid values include false (the boolean value), 'services', and 'all':
        # - If this is set to false, PMs are ignored by text filtering.
        # - If this is set to 'services', only PMs sent to services are checked for spam (this allows
        #   them to effectively act as PM spam traps)
        # - If this is set to 'all', all PyLink clients (including relay users) have incoming PMs
