## About
This Plang plugin provides a scripting interface to PBot. It has access to PBot
internal APIs and state.
### The Plang Language
## The Plang Language
The scripting language is [Plang](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang). It was
written specifically for PBot, but is powerful enough to be used as a general-purpose
scripting language embedded into any Perl application.

This document describes PBot's Plang plugin. To learn how to use the Plang scripting
language, see the [Plang documentation](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang/blob/master/README.md).
### PBot `plang` and `plangrepl` commands
#### `plang`
## `plang` command
Use the `plang` command to run a Plang script.
Usage: `plang <code>`
#### `plangrepl`
## `plangrepl` command
The `plangrepl` command is identical to the `plang` command, except the environment
is preserved in-between commands and the types of values is output along with the value.
### PBot built-in Plang functions
[Plang](https://github.com/pragma-/Plang) lets you add custom built-in functions. We
have added several for PBot. They are described here.
