<a name="Bot_Channel"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">Bot Channel</span></h4>
<p>You may test/play with the bot in the #pbot2 channel on irc.freenode.net.
</p><p><br />
</p>
<a name="Trigger"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Trigger</span></h3>
<p>All of <b>candide'</b>s commands may begin with its name or its trigger, or be followed by its name.
</p><p>The trigger character defaults to exclaimation mark [!].
</p><p>Note that commands need not be submitted to the channel; you can /msg it instead. If you /msg <b>candide</b>, it will respond with a private message in return. In private message, you do not need to specify its name or one of the trigger symbols.
</p>
<pre> Examples:
&lt;pragma_&gt;&nbsp;!hi
&lt;pragma_&gt; hi, candide
&lt;pragma_&gt; candide: hi
</pre>
<a name="Embedded_trigger"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">Embedded trigger</span></h4>
<p>Many commands may be triggered from within a sentence. Such commands, however, cannot take any arguments. You can embed up to three triggers in one message.
</p><p>If the sentence begins with a nick that is currently in the channel, the command's response will be prefixed with that nick.
</p>

</pre>
<a name="tell"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">tell</span></h5>
<p>You may also use the `tell &lt;nick&gt; about &lt;command&gt;` syntax (which is necessary if the factoid does take arguments):
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; candide: tell defrost about help cc
&lt;candide&gt; defrost: To learn all about cc, see <a href="http://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Candide#cc" class="external free" title="http://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Candide#cc" rel="nofollow">http://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Candide#cc</a>
</pre>
<a name="Registry"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Registry</span></h2>
<p>Candide's behavior can be customized via a central registry of key/value pairs segregated by sections.
</p><p>There are two types of registry values: literals and arrays. Literals can be strings, floats or integers. Arrays are comma-separated lists of literals.
</p>
<a name="Overriding_registry_values_per-channel"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Overriding registry values per-channel</span></h3>
<p>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.
</p><p>For example, the bot's trigger is defined in general-&gt;trigger. You may add a trigger key in #channel to override the trigger value for that channel: #channel-&gt;trigger.
</p><p>For another example, the anti-flood max lines is defined in antiflood-&gt;chat_flood_threshold. To override this setting in #coolchannel, you can set #coolchannel-&gt;chat_flood_threshold.
</p>
<a name="regadd"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regadd</span></h3>
<p>regadd adds a new registry value to a specific section/channel.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regadd &lt;section&gt; &lt;key&gt; &lt;value&gt;
</pre>
<pre>Example:
&lt;pragma&gt; regadd #mychannel trigger [,!%]
&lt;candide&gt; [#mychannel] trigger set to [,!%]
</pre>
<p>Some registry values can be regular expressions, like the above trigger example. Setting general-&gt;trigger to the character class [,!%] means that it will respond to ,&nbsp;! and&nbsp;% as trigger characters on a general basis. You can set #somechannel-&gt;trigger to something else to override this for that specific channel.
</p>
<a name="regrem"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regrem</span></h3>
<p>regrem removes a registry key from a specific section/channel.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regrem &lt;section&gt; &lt;key&gt;
</pre>
<a name="regshow"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regshow</span></h3>
<p>regshow displays the type and value of a specific key.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regshow &lt;section&gt; &lt;key&gt;
</pre>
<pre>Example:
&lt;pragma&gt; regshow antiflood chat_flood_punishment
&lt;candide&gt; [antiflood] chat_flood_punishment: 60,300,3600,86400,604800,2419200 [array]
</pre>
<a name="regset"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regset</span></h3>
<p>regset sets the meta-data values for a specific registry key. See <a href="#Registry_metadata_list" title="">registry meta-data list</a>.
</p><p>If you omit the &lt;key&gt; argument, it will list all the defined keys and values for the registry item. If you specify &lt;key&gt; but omit &lt;value&gt;, it will show the value for that specific key.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regset &lt;section&gt; &lt;item&gt; [key [value]]
</pre>
<pre>Example:
&lt;pragma&gt; regset irc botnick value pangloss
* candide changed nick to pangloss
&lt;pangloss&gt; [irc] botnick: 'value' set to 'pangloss'
</pre>
<a name="Registry_metadata_list"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">Registry metadata list</span></h4>
<p>This is a list of recognized registry meta-data keys.
</p>
<ul><li> <i>type</i>: sets the type of this registry key; <i>text</i> (literal) or <i>array</i>.
</li><li> <i>value</i>: the value of this registry key.
</li><li> <i>private</i>: 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 "&lt;private&gt;".
</li></ul>
<a name="regunset"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regunset</span></h3>
<p>regunset deletes a meta-data key from a registry key.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regunset &lt;section&gt; &lt;item&gt; &lt;key&gt;
</pre>
<a name="regchange"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regchange</span></h3>
<p>regchange changes the value of a registry item using a regular substitution expression.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regchange &lt;section&gt; &lt;item&gt; s/&lt;pattern&gt;/&lt;replacement&gt;/
</pre>
<pre>Example:
&lt;pragma&gt; regadd foo bar Hello, world!
&lt;candide&gt; [foo] bar set to Hello, world!
&lt;pragma&gt; regchange foo bar s/world/universe/
&lt;candide&gt; [foo] bar set to Hello, universe!
</pre>
<a name="regfind"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">regfind</span></h3>
<p>regfind searches for registry items, and may optionally show the values of all matching items.
</p>
<pre>Usage: regfind [-showvalues] [-section &lt;section&gt;] &lt;regex&gt;
</pre>
<p>To limit the search to a specific section, use -section &lt;section&gt;. To dump the entire registry, use `regfind -showvalues .*`
</p>
<a name="Creating_array_values"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Creating array values</span></h3>
<p>Use the <a href="#regset" title="">regset</a> command to change the <i>type</i> meta-data value to "array", and set the registry value to a comma-separated list of values.
</p>
<pre>Example:
&lt;pragma&gt; regadd foo animals aardvark, badger, cat, dingo
&lt;candide&gt; [foo] animals set to aardvark, badger, cat, dingo
&lt;pragma&gt; regset foo animals type array
&lt;candide&gt; [foo] animals: 'type' set to 'array'

<a name="Factoids"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Factoids</span></h2>
<a name="List_of_factoids"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">List of factoids</span></h3>
<p>The most recent exported list of factoids can be found here:
<a href="http://www.iso-9899.info/candide/factoids.html" class="external free" title="http://www.iso-9899.info/candide/factoids.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.iso-9899.info/candide/factoids.html</a>.
</p>
<a name="Channel_namespaces"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">Channel namespaces</span></h4>
<p>Factoids added in one channel may be called/triggered in another channel or in private message, providing that the other channel doesn't already have a factoid of the same name.
</p><p>Factoids may also be added to a special channel named global. Factoids that are set in this channel will be accessible to any channel, including private messages. However, factoids that are set in a specific channel will override factoids of the same name that are set in the global channel or other channels.
</p><p>For example, a factoid named 'malloc' set in ##c will be called instead of 'malloc' set in global,
if the factoid were triggered in ##c; otherwise, the latter 'malloc' will be triggered if the factoid were triggered in another channel.
</p><p>Similiarily, if there were no 'malloc' factoid in the global namespace, but only in ##c and you attempted to use this factoid in a channel other than ##c, that channel will invoke ##c's version of 'malloc', providing that channel doesn't have its own 'malloc' factoid.
</p><p>Likewise, if there is a 'malloc' factoid set in ##c++ and the factoid is triggered in the ##c++ channel,
then this version of 'malloc' will be called instead of the ##c or the global factoid.
</p><p>However, if you are in a channel that doesn't have a 'malloc' factoid and there is no 'malloc' factoid in the global channel, and you attempt to call 'malloc' then the bot will display a message notifying you that 'malloc' is ambiguous and which channels it belongs to so that you may use the <a href="#fact" title="">fact</a> command to call the correct factoid.

<a name="Adding_a_factoid"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Adding a factoid</span></h3>
<a name="factadd"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">factadd</span></h4>
<pre> Usage:
factadd &lt;channel&gt; &lt;keyword&gt; is &lt;description&gt;
</pre>
<p>To add a factoid to the global channel, use global as the channel.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd ##c c is /say C rocks!
</pre>
<a name="Special_commands"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">Special commands</span></h4>
<a name=".2Fsay"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">/say</span></h5>
<p>If a factoid begins with "/say " then candide will not use
the "&lt;factoid&gt; is &lt;description&gt;" format when displaying the
factoid.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global hi is /say Well, hello there, $nick.
&lt;candide&gt; 'hi' added to the global channel
&lt;prec&gt; candide, hi
&lt;candide&gt; Well, hello there, prec.
</pre>
<a name=".2Fme"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">/me</span></h5>
<p>If a factoid begins with "/me " then candide will ACTION the factoid.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global bounce is /me bounces around.
&lt;candide&gt; 'bounce' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; bounce
*candide bounces around.
</pre>
<a name=".2Fcall"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">/call</span></h5>
<p>If a factoid begins with "/call " then candide will call an existing command.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global boing is /call bounce
&lt;candide&gt; 'boing' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; boing
*candide bounces around.
</pre>
<a name=".2Fmsg"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">/msg</span></h5>
<p>If a factoid begins with "/msg &lt;nick&gt; " then candide will /MSG the factoid
text to &lt;nick&gt;
</p>
<a name="Special_variables"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">Special variables</span></h4>
<p>You can use the following variables in a factoid or as an argument to one.
</p>
<a name=".24nick"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">$nick</span></h5>
<p>$nick expands to the nick of the caller.
</p>
<a name=".24args"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">$args</span></h5>
<p>$args expands to any text following the keyword. If there is no text then it expands to the nick of the caller.
</p>
<a name=".24arg.5Bn.5D"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">$arg[n]</span></h5>
<p>$arg[n] expands to the nth argument. Indexing begins from 0 (the first argument is $arg[0]). You may use a negative number to count from the end; e.g., $arg[-2] means the 2nd argument from the end. Multiple words can be double-quoted to constitute one argument. If the argument does not exist, the variable and the leading space before it will be silently removed.
</p>
<a name=".24arg.5Bn:m.5D"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">$arg[n:m]</span></h5>
<p>$arg[n:m] expands to a slice of arguments between n and m. Indexing begins from 0 (the first argument is $arg[0]). Not specifying the m value means the rest of the arguments; e.g., $arg[2:] means the remaining arguments after the first two. Multiple words can be double-quoted to constitute one argument. If the argument does not exist, the variable and the leading space before it will be silently removed.
</p>
<a name=".24channel"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">$channel</span></h5>
<p>$channel expands to the name of the channel in which the factoid is used.
</p>
<a name=".24randomnick"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">$randomnick</span></h5>
<p>$randomnick expands to a random nick from the channel in which the factoid is used.
</p>
<a name="adlib_list_variables"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">adlib list variables</span></h4>
<p>You may create a list of adlib words by using the normal factoid creation method.
Multiple words can be surrounded with double quotes to constitute one element.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global colors is red green blue "bright yellow" pink "dark purple" orange
&lt;candide&gt; 'colors' added to the global channel
</pre>
<p>Then you can instruct candide to pick a random word from this list to use in another factoid by
inserting the list as a variable.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global sky is /say The sky is $colors.
&lt;candide&gt; 'sky' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; sky
&lt;candide&gt; The sky is dark purple.
&lt;pragma_&gt; sky
&lt;candide&gt; The sky is green.
</pre>
<p>A practical example, creating the RTFM trigger:
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global sizes is big large tiny small huge gigantic teeny
&lt;candide&gt; 'sizes' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global attacks is whaps thwacks bashes smacks punts whacks
&lt;candide&gt; 'attacks' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global rtfm is /me $attacks $args with a $sizes $colors manual.
&lt;candide&gt; 'rtfm' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; rtfm mauke
* candide thwacks mauke with a big red manual.
</pre>
<a name="modifiers"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">modifiers</span></h5>
<p>Adlib list variables can accept trailing modifier keywords prefixed with a colon. These can be chained together to combine their effects.
</p>
<ul><li>&nbsp;:uc - uppercases the expansion
</li><li>&nbsp;:lc - lowercases the expansion
</li><li>&nbsp;:ucfirst - uppercases the first letter in the expansion
</li><li>&nbsp;:title - lowercases the expansion and then uppercases the first letter (effectively an alias for&nbsp;:lc:ucfirst)
</li><li>&nbsp;:&lt;channel&gt; - looks for variable in &lt;channel&gt; first; use "global" to refer to the global channel
</li></ul>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; echo $colors:uc
&lt;candide&gt; RED
&lt;pragma_&gt; echo $colors:ucfirst
&lt;candide&gt; Blue
</pre>
<a name="action_with_args"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">action_with_args</span></h4>
<p>You can use the <a href="#factset" title="">factset</a> command to set a special factoid meta-data key named "action_with_args" to trigger an alternate message if an argument has been supplied.
</p>
<pre> Example:
&lt;pragma_&gt; factadd global snack is /me eats a cookie.
&lt;candide&gt; 'snack' added to the global channel
&lt;pragma_&gt; factset global snack action_with_args /me gives $args a cookie.
&lt;candide&gt; [Factoids] (global) snack: 'action_with_args' set to '/me gives $args a cookie.'
&lt;pragma_&gt; snack
* candide eats a cookie.
&lt;pragma_&gt; snack orbitz
* candide gives orbitz a cookie.
</pre>
<a name="add_nick"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">add_nick</span></h4>
<p>You can use the <a href="#factset" title="">factset</a> command to set a special factoid meta-data key named "add_nick" to prepend the nick of the caller to the output. This is mostly useful for modules.

</p>
<a name="grab"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">grab</span></h4>
<p>Grabs a message someone says, and adds it to the quotegrabs database. You may grab multiple nicks/messages in one quotegrab by separating the arguments with a plus sign (the nicks need not be different -- you can grab multiple messages by the same nick by specifying a different history for each grab).
</p><p>You can use the <a href="#recall" title="">recall</a> command to test the arguments before grabbing (please use a private message).
</p>
<pre>Usage: grab &lt;nick&gt; [history [channel]] [+ ...]
where [history] is an optional argument regular expression used to search message contents;
e.g., to grab a message containing the text "pizza", use: grab nick pizza
</pre>
<pre>Examples:
</pre>
<pre> &lt;bob&gt; Clowns are scary.
&lt;pragma-&gt; grab bob clowns
&lt;candide&gt; Quote grabbed: 1: &lt;bob&gt; Clowns are scary.

</pre>
<a name="getq"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">getq</span></h4>
<p>Retrieves and displays a specific grabbed quote from the quotegrabs database.
</p>
<pre>Usage: getq &lt;quote-id&gt;
</pre>
<a name="rq"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">rq</span></h4>
<p>Retrieves and displays a random grabbed quote from the quotegrabs database. You may filter by nick, channel and/or quote text.
</p>
<pre>Usage: rq [nick [channel [text]]] [-c,--channel &lt;channel&gt;] [-t,--text &lt;text&gt;]
</pre>
<a name="delq"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">delq</span></h4>
<p>Deletes a specific grabbed quote from the quotegrabs database. You can only delete quotes you have grabbed unless you are logged in as an admin.
</p>
<pre>Usage: delq &lt;quote-id&gt;
</pre>
<a name="recall"></a><h4> <span class="mw-headline">recall</span></h4>
<p>Recalls messages from the chat history and displays them with a relative time-stamp.
</p>
<pre> Usage: recall &lt;[nick [history [channel]]] [-c,channel &lt;channel&gt;] [-t,text,h,history &lt;history&gt;] [-b,before &lt;context before&gt;] [-a,after &lt;context after&gt;] [-x,context &lt;nick&gt;] [-n,count &lt;count&gt;] [+ ...]&gt;
</pre>
<p>You can use -b/-before and -a/-after to display the messages before and after the result message. For example, `recall ##c -b 99` would show the last 100 messages in the ##c channel. `recall bob 50 -b 5 -a 5` would show the 50th most recent message from bob, including 5 messages before and 5 messages after that message. If you also specify -x &lt;nick&gt;, then the before and after messages will be limited to messages from the &lt;nick&gt; argument; for example, `recall -x bob -b 10` would show bob's 10 most recent messages.
</p><p>Alternatively, you can use -n/-count to display that many matches resulting from a -h/-history search; for example, `recall -h http -n 5` would show the last 5 messages containing "http". You can specify -x/-context to limit the search to a specific nick; for example, `recall -h http -x bob -n 5` would show bob's last 5 messages containing "http".
</p>
<pre>Example:
&lt;pragma-&gt; recall alice + bob
&lt;candide&gt; [20 seconds ago] &lt;alice&gt; Please put that in the right place. [8 seconds ago] &lt;bob&gt; That's what she said!

<ul><li> You can pass any gcc compiler options. By default, -Wall -Wextra -std=c11 -pedantic are passed unless an option is specified.
</li><li> The -paste option will pretty-format and paste the code/output to a paste site and display the URL (useful to preserve newlines in output, and to refer to line-numbers).
</li><li> The -nomain flag will prevent the code from being wrapped with a main() function. This is not necessary if you're explicitly defining a main function; it's only necessary if you don't want a main function at all.
</li><li> The -noheaders flag will prevent any of the default headers from being added to the code. This is not necessary if you explicitly include any headers since doing so will override the default headers. This flag is only necessary if you want absolutely no headers whatsoever.
</li><li> The -input=&lt;stdin input&gt; option provides STDIN input (i.e., scanf(), getc(stdin), etc.); MUST be the last option after any code (otherwise the code will be considered to be input).
</li><li> The run, undo, show, replace, etc commands are part of <a href="#Interactive_Editing" title="">interactive-editing</a>.
</li><li> The diff command can be used to display the differences between the two most recent snippets.
</li><li> You can use { } instead of cc; the options/flags/comments must be inside the braces. Can take an optional nick argument in front in order to address the output to said nick.

<a name="Interactive_Editing"></a><h5> <span class="mw-headline">Interactive Editing</span></h5>
<p>The <a href="#cc" title="">cc</a> command supports interactive-editing. The general syntax is: cc [command].
</p><p>Each cc snippet is saved in a buffer which is named after the channel or nick it was used in. You can use <a href="#show" title="">show</a> or <a href="#diff" title="">diff</a> with a buffer argument to view that buffer; otherwise you can use the <a href="#copy" title="">copy</a> command to copy the most recent snippet of another buffer into the current buffer and optionally chain it with another command -- for example, to copy the ##c buffer (e.g., from a private message or a different channel) and paste it: <i>cc copy ##c and paste</i>.
</p><p>The commands are: <a href="#copy" title="">copy</a>, <a href="#show" title="">show</a>, <a href="#diff" title="">diff</a>, <a href="#paste" title="">paste</a>, <a href="#run" title="">run</a>, <a href="#undo" title="">undo</a>, <a href="#s.2F.2F" title="">s//</a>, <a href="#replace" title="">replace</a>, <a href="#prepend" title="">prepend</a>, <a href="#append" title="">append</a>, and <a href="#remove" title="">remove</a>. Most of the commands may be chained together by separating them with whitespace or "and".
</p><p>The commands are described in more detail below:
</p>
<a name="copy"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">copy</span></h6>
<p>To copy the most recent snippet from another buffer (e.g., to copy another channel's or private message's buffer to your own private message or channel), use the <b>copy</b> command. Other commands can optionally be chained after this command.
</p>
<pre> Usage: cc copy &lt;buffer&gt; [and ...]
</pre>
<a name="show"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">show</span></h6>
<p>To show the latest code in the buffer, use the <b>show</b> command. This command can take an optional buffer argument.
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; cc show
&lt;candide&gt; pragma_: printf("Hello, world!");
</pre>
<p>This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.
</p>
<a name="diff"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">diff</span></h6>
<p>To see the differences between the two most recent snippets, use the <b>diff</b> command. This command can take an optional buffer argument.
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; cc diff
&lt;candide&gt; pragma: printf("&lt;replaced `Hello` with `Good-bye`&gt;, &lt;replaced `world` with `void`&gt;");
</pre>
<p>This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.
</p>
<a name="paste"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">paste</span></h6>
<p>To paste the full source of the latest code in the buffer as the compiler sees it, use the <b>paste</b> command:
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; cc paste
&lt;candide&gt; pragma_: <a href="http://some.random.paste-site.com/paste/results" class="external free" title="http://some.random.paste-site.com/paste/results" rel="nofollow">http://some.random.paste-site.com/paste/results</a>
</pre>
<p>This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.
</p>
<a name="run"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">run</span></h6>
<p>To attempt to compile and execute the latest code in the buffer, use the <b>run</b> command:
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; cc run
&lt;candide&gt; pragma_: Hello, world!
</pre>
<p>This command is stand-alone and cannot be chained with other interactive-editing commands.
</p>
<a name="undo"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">undo</span></h6>
<p>To undo any changes, use <b>undo</b>. The <b>undo</b> command must be the first command before any subsequent commands.
</p>
<a name="s.2F.2F"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">s//</span></h6>
<p>To change the latest code in the buffer, use the <b>s/regex/substitution/[gi]</b> pattern.
</p>
<pre> &lt;pragma_&gt; cc s/Hello/Good-bye/ and s/world/void/
&lt;candide&gt; pragma_: Good-bye, void!
&lt;pragma_&gt; cc show
&lt;candide&gt; pragma_: printf("Good-bye, void!");
</pre>
<a name="replace"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">replace</span></h6>
<p>Alternatively, you may use the <b>replace</b> command. The usage is (note the required single-quotes):
</p>
<pre> cc replace [all, first, second, ..., tenth, last] 'from' with 'to'
</pre>
<a name="prepend"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">prepend</span></h6>
<p>Text may be prepended with the <b>prepend</b> command:
</p>
<pre> cc prepend 'text'
</pre>
<a name="append"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">append</span></h6>
<p>Text may be appended with the <b>append</b> command:
</p>
<pre> cc append 'text'
</pre>
<a name="remove"></a><h6> <span class="mw-headline">remove</span></h6>
<p>Text may be deleted with the <b>remove</b> command:
</p>
<pre> cc remove [all, first, second, ..., tenth, last] 'text'

<a name="Flood_control"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Flood control</span></h2>
<p>Candide can monitor the channel for excessive rapid traffic originating from an individual and automatically ban the offender for a certain length of time.
</p>
<a name="Message_flood"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Message flood</span></h3>
<p>If four (4) or more messages are sent within five (5) seconds, the flood control is triggered. The offender will be muted for 30 seconds for the first offense. Each additional offense will result in the offender being muted for a much longer period. For example, the first offense will result in 30 seconds, the 2nd offense will be 5 minutes, the 3rd will be 1 hour, and so on. The offense counter is decremented once every 24 hours.
</p><p>The offender will be sent the following private message: "You have been muted due to flooding. Please use a web paste service such as <a href="http://ideone.com" class="external free" title="http://ideone.com" rel="nofollow">http://ideone.com</a> for lengthy pastes. You will be allowed to speak again in $timeout."
</p>
<a name="Join_flood"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Join flood</span></h3>
<p>If four (4) or more JOINs are observed within thirty (30) minutes <b>without any messages in between joins</b>, the offender will be forwarded to another channel for a limited time: 2^(number_of_offenses + 2) hours.
</p><p>In addition to private instructions from candide, this channel will have a /topic and ChanServ on-join message with instructions explaining to the offender how to remove the forwarding. The instructions are to message candide with: unbanme &lt;channel&gt;.
</p><p>Any messages sent to the public channel by the user at any time will reset their JOIN counter back to zero. The unbanme command can only be used for the first two offenses -- the offense counter is decremented once every 24 hours.
</p><p>The offender will be sent the following private message: "You have been banned from $channel due to join flooding. If your connection issues have been resolved, or this was an accident, you may request an unban at any time by responding to this message with: unbanme $channel, otherwise you will be automatically unbanned in $timeout."
</p>
<a name="Enter_key_abuse"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Enter key abuse</span></h3>
<p>If four (4) consecutive messages are sent with ten (10) seconds or less between individual messages and without another person speaking, an enter-key-abuse counter is incremented. This counter will then continue to be incremented every two (2) consecutive messages with ten (10) seconds or less in between until another person speaks or more than ten (10) seconds have elapsed, whereupon it returns to requiring four (4) consecutive messages. When this counter reaches three (3) or greater, the offender will be muted using the same timeout rules as message flooding. This counter is automatically decremented once per hour.
</p><p>The offender will be sent the following private message: "You have been muted due to abusing the enter key. Please do not split your sentences over multiple messages. You will be allowed to speak again in $timeout."
</p>
<a name="Nick_flood"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Nick flood</span></h3>
<p>If four (4) or more nick-changes are observed within thirty (30) minutes, the nick-change flood control is triggered. The offender will be muted for 15 minutes for the first offense. Each additional offense will result in the offender being muted for a much longer period. The offense counter is decremented once every 24 hours.
</p><p>The offender will be sent the following private message: "You have been temporarily banned due to nick-change flooding. You will be unbanned in $timeout."
</p>
<a name="Anti-away.2FNick-control"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Anti-away/Nick-control</span></h2>
<p>Candide can detect nick-changes to undesirable nicks such as those ending with |away, as well as undesirable ACTIONs such as /me is away.
</p><p>When such a case is detected, Candide will kick the offender with a link to <a href="http://sackheads.org/~bnaylor/spew/away_msgs.html" class="external free" title="http://sackheads.org/~bnaylor/spew/away_msgs.html" rel="nofollow">http://sackheads.org/~bnaylor/spew/away_msgs.html</a> in the kick message.
</p>
<a name="Anti-auto-rejoin_control"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Anti-auto-rejoin control</span></h2>
<p>Candide can detect if someone immediately auto-rejoins after having been kicked.
</p><p>When such a case is detected, Candide will kickban the offender (with a kick message of "$timeout ban for auto-rejoining after kick") for 5 minutes for the first offense. Each additional offense will result in the offender being banned for a much longer period. The offense counter is decremented once every 24 hours.
</p>
<a name="Opping.2FDeopping"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline">Opping/Deopping</span></h2>
<p>ChanServ will automagically op and deop Candide when necessary. Candide will wait until about 5 minutes have elapsed before requesting a deop from ChanServ.
