Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text in READMEs. Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs should be automatically generated from these docstrings. Motivation: * The same help is available both via IRC and in the README (although the README can be more detailed, as only the first paragraph will be shown on IRC) * This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the docstrings Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST, because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings in the codebase are in ReST for this reason. |

Documentation for the Config plugin for Supybot
Purpose
Handles configuration of the bot while it is running.
Usage
Provides access to the Supybot configuration. This is a core Supybot plugin that should not be removed!
Commands
- channel [<network>] [<channel>] <name> [<value>]
-
If <value> is given, sets the channel configuration variable for <name> to <value> for <channel> on the <network>. Otherwise, returns the current channel configuration value of <name>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself. More than one channel may be given at once by separating them with commas. <network> defaults to the current network.
- config <name> [<value>]
-
If <value> is given, sets the value of <name> to <value>. Otherwise, returns the current value of <name>. You may omit the leading "supybot." in the name if you so choose.
- default <name>
-
Returns the default value of the configuration variable <name>.
- export <filename>
-
Exports the public variables of your configuration to <filename>. If you want to show someone your configuration file, but you don't want that person to be able to see things like passwords, etc., this command will export a "sanitized" configuration file suitable for showing publicly.
- help <name>
-
Returns the description of the configuration variable <name>.
- list <group>
-
Returns the configuration variables available under the given configuration <group>. If a variable has values under it, it is preceded by an '@' sign. If a variable is a 'ChannelValue', that is, it can be separately configured for each channel using the 'channel' command in this plugin, it is preceded by an '#' sign. And if a variable is a 'NetworkValue', it is preceded by a ':' sign.
- network [<network>] <name> [<value>]
-
If <value> is given, sets the network configuration variable for <name> to <value> for <network>. Otherwise, returns the current network configuration value of <name>. <network> defaults to the current network.
- reload takes no arguments
-
Reloads the various configuration files (user database, channel database, registry, etc.).
- reset channel [<network>] [<channel>] <name>
-
Resets the channel-specific value of variable <name>, so that it will match the network-specific value (or the global one if the latter isn't set). <network> and <channel> default to the current network and channel.
- reset network [<network>] [<channel>] <name>
-
Resets the network-specific value of variable <name>, so that it will match the global. <network> defaults to the current network and channel.
- search <word>
-
Searches for <word> in the current configuration variables.
- searchhelp <phrase>
-
Searches for <phrase> in the help of current configuration variables.
- searchvalues <word>
-
Searches for <word> in the values of current configuration variables.
- setdefault <name>
-
Resets the configuration variable <name> to its default value. Use commands 'reset channel' and 'reset network' instead to make a channel- or network- specific value inherit from the global one.
Configuration
- supybot.plugins.Config.public
-
This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
