## About

|

## Types of commands
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few different types of commands in PBot.
|
||||
There are several ways of adding new commands to PBot. We'll go over them here.
|
||||
|
||||
### Built-in commands
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in commands are commands that are internal and native to PBot. They are
|
||||
executed within PBot's API and context. They have access to PBot internal
|
||||
subroutine and data structures.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Creating new built-in commands
|
||||
|
||||
Built-in commands are created via the `register()` function of the `Commands`
|
||||
module. Such commands are registered throughout PBot's source code. The owner
|
||||
of the PBot instance can locally add new commands by editing PBot's source code
|
||||
or by acquiring and loading new Plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Plugins
|
||||
|
||||
Additional built-in commands can be created by loading PBot Plugins. Plugins are
|
||||
stand-alone self-contained units of code that can be loaded by the PBot owner.
|
||||
Plugins have access to PBot's internal APIs and data structures.
|
||||
|
||||
### Factoids
|
||||
|
||||
Factoids are another type of command. Factoids are simple textual strings that
|
||||
anybody can create. At their most simple, they simply display their text when
|
||||
invoked. However, significantly more complex Factoids can be created by using
|
||||
the powerful interpreter and by using the even more powerful `/code` Factoid
|
||||
command.
|
||||
|
||||
Factoids do not have access to PBot's internal API or data structures.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Code Factoids
|
||||
|
||||
Code Factoids are simple Factoids that are created using the `/code` command.
|
||||
These Factoids will execute their textual string using the scripting or programming
|
||||
language invoked by the `/code` command.
|
||||
|
||||
Code Factoids do not have access to PBot's internal API or data structures.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Modules
|
||||
|
||||
Modules are simple stand-alone external command-line scripts and programs. Just
|
||||
about any application that can be run in your command-line shell can be loaded as
|
||||
a PBot module.
|
||||
|
||||
Modules do not have access to PBot's internal API or data structures.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
