Capabilities
Note
I wrote this section with the little knowledge I have of the capabilities system; I work mainly by testing different possibilities until I get what I want. As for all the documentation, feel free to contact me to correct/enhance it.
First, you should know how capabilities work on the user side <capabilities>.
Checking for a capability given its name
You only have to use
ircdb.checkCapability(prefix, 'capability').
You can also override some behavior of the capability system. Here is
the complete documentation of ircdb.checkCapabiltiy:
supybot.ircdb.checkCapability
Manipulating capability names
Althrough you can manipulate capability names with string operations, Supybot provides a few methods to do that “in the abstract” (could be useful if we change the capability syntax one day…):
supybot.ircdb.isCapability
supybot.ircdb.makeChannelCapability
supybot.ircdb.isChannelCapability
supybot.ircdb.makeAntiCapability
supybot.ircdb.unAntiCapability
supybot.ircdb.invertCapability
supybot.ircdb.isAntiCapability
supybot.ircdb.canonicalCapability
