The Factoids plugin

info [<channel>] <key>

Gives information about the factoid(s) associated with <key>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

learn

forget [<channel>] <key> [<number>|*]

Removes a key-fact relationship for key <key> from the factoids database. If there is more than one such relationship for this key, a number is necessary to determine which one should be removed. A * can be used to remove all relationships for <key>.

If as a result, the key (factoid) remains without any relationships to a factoid (key), it shall be removed from the database.

<channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

random [<channel>]

Returns a random factoid from the database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

rank [<channel>] [--plain] [--alpha] [<number>]

Returns a list of top-ranked factoid keys, sorted by usage count (rank). If <number> is not provided, the default number of factoid keys returned is set by the rankListLength registry value.

If --plain option is given, rank numbers and usage counts are not included in output.

If --alpha option is given in addition to --plain, keys are sorted alphabetically, instead of by rank.

<channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

unlock [<channel>] <key>

Unlocks the factoid(s) associated with <key> so that they can be removed or added to. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

search [<channel>] [--values] [--{regexp} <value>] [<glob> ...]

Searches the keyspace for keys matching <glob>. If --regexp is given, it associated value is taken as a regexp and matched against the keys. If --values is given, search the value space instead of the keyspace.

whatis [<channel>] [--raw] <key> [<number>]

Looks up the value of <key> in the factoid database. If given a number, will return only that exact factoid. If '--raw' option is given, no variable substitution will take place on the factoid. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

alias [<channel>] <oldkey> <newkey> [<number>]

Adds a new key <newkey> for factoid associated with <oldkey>. <number> is only necessary if there's more than one factoid associated with <oldkey>.

The same action can be accomplished by using the 'learn' function with a new key but an existing (verbatim) factoid content.

change [<channel>] <key> <number> <regexp>

Changes the factoid #*<number>* associated with <key> according to <regexp>.

lock [<channel>] <key>

Locks the factoid(s) associated with <key> so that they cannot be removed or added to. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
