History

Valentin Lorentz 63eb6672ea Revert generic 'The Limnoria Contributors' in copyright notices This commit reverts `db7ef3f025` (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 `db7ef3f025` 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.		2021-10-17 09:57:55 +02:00

Documentation for the Config plugin for Supybot

Purpose

Handles configuration of the bot while it is running.

Provides access to the Supybot configuration. This is a core Supybot plugin that should not be removed!

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.

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.

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.

supybot.plugins.Config.public

This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.

Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
