This commit reverts db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 (though it keeps the year updates) After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright. As db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 only replaced mentions of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.
Documentation for the Utilities plugin for Supybot
Purpose
Various utility commands, mostly useful for manipulating nested commands.
Usage
Provides useful commands for bot scripting / command nesting.
Commands
- apply <command> <text>
-
Tokenizes <text> and calls <command> with the resulting arguments.
- countargs <arg> [<arg> ...]
-
Counts the arguments given.
- echo <text>
-
Returns the arguments given it. Uses our standard substitute on the string(s) given to it; $nick (or $who), $randomNick, $randomInt, $botnick, $channel, $user, $host, $today, $now, and $randomDate are all handled appropriately.
- ignore requires no arguments
-
Does nothing. Useful sometimes for sequencing commands when you don't care about their non-error return values.
- last <text> [<text> ...]
-
Returns the last argument given. Useful when you'd like multiple nested commands to run, but only the output of the last one to be returned.
- let <variable> = <value> in <command>
-
Defines <variable> to be equal to <value> in the <command> and runs the <command>. '=' and 'in' can be omitted.
- sample <num> <arg> [<arg> ...]
-
Randomly chooses <num> items out of the arguments given.
- shuffle <arg> [<arg> ...]
-
Shuffles the arguments given.
- sort <arg> [<arg> ...]
-
Sorts the arguments given.
- success [<text>]
-
Does nothing except to reply with a success message. This is useful when you want to run multiple commands as nested commands, and don't care about their output as long as they're successful. An error, of course, will break out of this command. <text>, if given, will be appended to the end of the success message.
Configuration
- supybot.plugins.Utilities.public
