How is this safe? Because the code is executed within a virtual machine that
|
||||
has been configured to fall-back to a previously saved state whenever it times out.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the venerable `rot13` function:
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd rot13 /code sh echo "$@" | tr a-zA-Z n-za-mN-ZA-M

### Virtual machine
|
||||
|
||||
PBot can integrate with a virtual machine to safely execute arbitrary user-submitted
|
||||
commands or code.
|
||||
|
||||
PBot supports [several shells and languages](doc/Factoids.md#supported-languages) out of the box!

PBot has extensive support for the C programming language. For instance, the C programming language
|
||||
plugin is integrated with the GNU Debugger. It will print useful debugging information.

||||
<pragma-> !cc char *p = 0; *p++;

|
||||
#### piping
|
||||
|
||||
You can pipe output from one command as input into another command, indefinitely.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo hello world | {sed s/world/everybody/} | {uc}
|
||||
<PBot> HELLO EVERYBODY
|
||||
|
||||
#### command substitution
|
||||
|
||||
You can insert the output from another command at any point within a command. This
|
||||
substitutes the command with its output at the point where the command was used.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo This is &{echo a demonstration} of command substitution
|
||||
<PBot> This is a demonstration of command substitution
|
||||
|
||||
For example, suppose you want to make a Google Image Search command. The naive
|
||||
way would be to simply do:
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd img /call echo https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=$args
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortuately this would not support queries containing spaces or certain symbols. But
|
||||
never fear! We can use command substitution and the `uri_escape` function from the
|
||||
`func` command.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you must escape the command substitution to insert it literally into the
|
||||
factoid otherwise it will be expanded first.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd img /call echo https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=\&{func uri_escape $args}
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !img spaces & stuff
|
||||
<PBot> https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=spaces%20%26%20stuff
|
||||
|
||||
#### command splitting
|
||||
|
||||
You can execute multiple commands sequentially as one command.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo Test! ;;; me smiles. ;;; version
|
||||
<PBot> Test! * PBot smiles. PBot version 2696 2020-01-04
|
||||
|
||||
#### $variable interpolation
|
||||
|
||||
You can use factoids as variables and interpolate them within commands.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd greeting "Hello, world"
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo greeting is $greeting
|
||||
<PBot> greeting is Hello, world
|
||||
|
||||
#### inline commands
|
||||
|
||||
You can invoke up to three commands in-lined within a message. If the message
|
||||
is address to a nick, the output will also be addressed to them.
|
||||
|
||||
