## About
PBot's behavior can be customized via a central registry of key/value pairs segregated by sections.
### Types of values
There are two types of registry values: literals and arrays. Literals can be strings, floats or integers. Arrays are comma-separated lists of literals.
Overriding registry values per-channel
--------------------------------------
### Creating array values
Use the [regsetmeta](#regsetmeta) command to change the `type` [meta-data key](#metadata-list) to `array`, and set the registry value to a comma-separated list of values.
<pragma-> !regset foo.animals aardvark, badger, cat, dingo
<PBot> foo.animals set to aardvark, badger, cat, dingo
<pragma-> !regsetmeta foo.animals type array
<PBot> foo.animals: 'type' set to 'array'
### Overriding registry values per-channel
Some key/value pairs belonging to a specific section may be overridden on a per-channel basis by setting the key/value in a channel-specific section.
For example, the bot's trigger is defined in `general.trigger`. You may add a trigger key in `#channel` to override the trigger value for that channel: `#channel.trigger`.
For example, the bot's trigger is defined in `general.trigger`. You may add a `trigger` registry item in `#channel` to override the value for that channel: `#channel.trigger`.
For another example, the anti-flood max lines is defined in `antiflood.chat_flood_threshold`. To override this setting in `#neatchannel`, you can set `#neatchannel.chat_flood_threshold`.
## Overriding Registry values via command-line
You may override the Registry values via the PBot start-up command-line. Such
overrides are permanent and will be saved.
regadd
------
`regadd` adds a new registry value to a specific section/channel.
$ ./pbot data_dir=mybot irc.botnick=coolbot irc.server=freenode.net irc.port=6667
Usage: `regadd <section> <key> <value>`
## Registry commands
### regset
`regset` sets a new registry item or updates an existing item.
Usage: `regset <section>.<item> <value>`
For example, to override the trigger for #mychannel to be any of `,`, `!` or `%`:
<pragma> regadd #mychannel trigger [,!%]
<PBot> [#mychannel] trigger set to [,!%]
<pragma> !regset #mychannel.trigger [,!%]
<PBot> #mychannel.trigger set to [,!%]
Some registry values can be *regular expressions*, like the above trigger example. Setting `general.trigger` to the character class `[,!%]` means that it will respond to `,` `!` and `%` as trigger characters on a general basis.
### regunset
`regunset` removes a registry item from a specific section/channel.
regrem
------
`regrem` removes a registry key from a specific section/channel.
Usage: `regunset <section>.<item>`
Usage: `regrem <section> <key>`
regshow
-------
`regshow` displays the type and value of a specific key.
Usage: `regshow <section> <key>`
<pragma> regshow antiflood chat_flood_punishment
<PBot> [antiflood] chat_flood_punishment: 60,300,3600,86400,604800,2419200 [array]
regset
------
`regset` sets the meta-data values for a specific registry key. See [registry meta-data list](#Registry_metadata_list).
If you omit the `<key>` argument, it will list all the defined keys and values for the registry item. If you specify `<key>` but omit `<value>`, it will show the value for that specific key.
Usage: `regset <section> <item> [key [value]]`
<pragma> regset irc botnick value pangloss
* PBot changed nick to pangloss
<pangloss> [irc] botnick: 'value' set to 'pangloss'
### Registry metadata list
This is a list of recognized registry meta-data keys.
* `type`: sets the type of this registry key; values can be `text` (literal) or `array`.
* `value`: the value of this registry key.
* `private`: whether the value of the registry key is displayed in regset, regshow or regfind. If set to a true value, the value of the registry key will be shown as "**\<private\>**".
regunset
--------
`regunset` deletes a meta-data key from a registry key.
Usage: `regunset <section> <item> <key>`
regchange
---------
### regchange
`regchange` changes the value of a registry item using a *regular substitution expression*.
Usage: `regchange <section> <item> s/<pattern>/<replacement>/`
Usage: `regchange <section>.<item> s/<pattern>/<replacement>/`
<pragma> regadd foo bar Hello, world!
<PBot> [foo] bar set to Hello, world!
<pragma> regchange foo bar s/world/universe/
<PBot> [foo] bar set to Hello, universe!
<pragma-> regset foo.bar Hello, world!
<PBot> foo.bar set to Hello, world!
regfind
-------
<pragma-> regchange foo.bar s/world/universe/
<PBot> foo.bar set to Hello, universe!
### regshow
`regshow` displays the type and value of a registry item.
Usage: `regshow <section>.<item>`
<pragma-> !regshow antiflood.chat_flood_punishment
<PBot> antiflood.chat_flood_punishment: 60,300,3600,86400,604800,2419200 [array]
### regfind
`regfind` searches for registry items, and may optionally show the values of all matching items.
Usage: `regfind [-showvalues] [-section <section>] <regex>`
To limit the search to a specific section, use `-section <section>`. To dump the entire registry, use `regfind -showvalues .*`
Creating array values
---------------------
Use the [regset](#regset) command to change the `type` meta-data value to "array", and set the registry value to a comma-separated list of values.
### regsetmeta
`regsetmeta` sets the meta-data values for a specific registry key. See [registry meta-data list](#metadata-list).
<pragma> regadd foo animals aardvark, badger, cat, dingo
<PBot> [foo] animals set to aardvark, badger, cat, dingo
<pragma> regset foo animals type array
<PBot> [foo] animals: 'type' set to 'array'
If you omit the `<key>` argument, it will list all the defined keys and values for the registry item. If you specify `<key>` but omit `<value>`, it will show the value for that specific key.
List of recognized registry items

Usage: `regsetmeta <section>.<item> [key [value]]`

For example, this directly sets the `value` meta-data key of `irc.botnick`.
<pragma-> !regsetmeta irc.botnick value candide
* PBot changed nick to candide
<candide> irc.botnick: 'value' set to 'candide'
That example is equivalent to `regset irc.botnick candide`.
### regunsetmeta
`regunset` deletes a meta-data key from a registry item.
Usage: `regunset <section>.<item> <key>`
## Editing Registry file
You may edit the Registry file manually. It is located as `$data_dir/registry`. Its
contents are plain-text JSON.
This is a sample entry:
"irc" : {
"botnick" : {
"type" : "text",
"value" : "PBot"
}
}
After editing an entry in the Registry file, you may reload it with the `reload` command.
<pragma-> !reload registry
<PBot> Registry reloaded.
