40 | associated with a username and if so who, and whether the current | |

67 | :topic |
68 | channel [<chan>] topic set <topic> set topic when alone | |
69 | channel [<chan>] topic leave don't (default) | |
70 | If set to `topic set <topic>' then whenever I'm alone in the channel | |
71 | I'll reset the topic; if se to `topic leave' I'll leave it alone. | |
72 | channel [<chan>] topic see|tell +|-|= <chan>|* ... | |
73 | I can inform one channel about topic changes in another. Each | |
74 | channel has a `see list' and a `tell list' which may be empty or | |
75 | contain some channel names and/or a `*'. I'll tell channel #spy | |
76 | whenever I see the topic change in #showoff if: #showoff or * is | |
77 | mentioned in #spy's see list, and #spy or * is mentioned in | |
78 | #showoff's tell list, and at least one those mentions is not a `*'. | |
79 | + adds items to the relevant list, - removes them, and = sets the | |
80 | list to exactly those items specified. Both lists are empty by | |
81 | default, but a good permissive value is just `*' for both lists. | |
82 | ||
5e5be903 IJ |
83 | :autojoin |
84 | !channel [<chan>] autojoin yes|no (`yes' is the default.) | |
20087363 | 85 | Controls whether I'll join the channel when I'm (re)started. |
20087363 | 86 | |
5e5be903 | 87 | :userinvite |
bdf495dc IJ |
88 | channel [<chan>] userinvite pub users on chan can \!invite |
89 | channel [<chan>] userinvite here users on chan can \!invite and /msg | |
90 | channel [<chan>] userinvite all anyone can \!invite and /msg | |
91 | channel [<chan>] userinvite none \!invite and /msg are disabled | |
5e5be903 IJ |
92 | Controls whether the `invite' command works for this channel, and |
93 | who can use it (`help !invite'). `userinvite pub' is the default. | |
94 | ||
95 | :mode | |
93fe4099 | 96 | !channel [<chan>] mode *|+...-... (`mode *' is default.) |
5e5be903 IJ |
97 | If not set to `*' then whenever I'm alone in the channel I'll set |
98 | and unset the channel modes specified. Only the modes imnpst are | |
99 | supported. Precede one or more mode letters with + to set, - to | |
100 | unset; any letters not mentioned will be left alone. | |
101 | ||
102 | :manager | |
103 | !channel [<chan>] manager + <nick> <nick> ... add managers | |
104 | !channel [<chan>] manager - <nick> <nick> ... remove managers | |
105 | !channel [<chan>] manager = <nick> <nick> ... set new manager list | |
20087363 IJ |
106 | Managers are those who can use the `channel' command to change |
107 | channel settings. Manager status is only effective for secure | |
108 | nicks, after the manager has identified themselves. | |
109 | If you op me on an unmanaged channel you become the only manager, | |
5e5be903 | 110 | but you must use `!channel' to change a channel setting to make this |
20087363 | 111 | permanent. To make a channel unmanaged, make it have no managers. |
e6cc22dc | 112 | |
5e5be903 IJ |
113 | :identify |
114 | You must identify yourself to change your settings if your nick is | |
115 | secure, and to use channel management commands. In ircII on chiark, | |
116 | just say `/!blight-id'. For other clients, see `help !identpass'. | |
117 | Once you are identified you can then register new nicks, change | |
118 | settings, etc. - so long as you remain on a channel that I'm on too | |
119 | (see `help !invite'). See also `help !register'. | |
e6cc22dc | 120 | |
5e5be903 | 121 | :blight-id |
d83fb8db IJ |
122 | /blight-id is a command available in ircII (and possibly other |
123 | clients) on chiark. It sets up a password if you don't already have | |
124 | one, and then uses it to identify you to Blight. If you want to | |
125 | change your password, delete the file ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5. | |
5e5be903 | 126 | See `help !register' and `help !identpass'. |
d83fb8db | 127 | |
5e5be903 | 128 | :identpass |
e6cc22dc | 129 | identpass <username> <password> |
dde1d60c IJ |
130 | Identifies you to Blight. To set up your password, or be reminded |
131 | of it, run the shell command `irc-blight-id' on chiark. | |
5e5be903 IJ |
132 | (On ircII on chiark `/!blight-id' is easier, see `help !blight-id'.) |
133 | See `help !identpass-internals' for technical details. | |
dde1d60c | 134 | |
5e5be903 IJ |
135 | :identpass-internals |
136 | Identification, for example with /!blight-id, is actually done with | |
137 | `!identpass', which feeds the md5sum of the password to `userv | |
86501c55 IJ |
138 | <username> irc-identpass <nick>'. That must exit 0 if all is well. |
139 | By default this checks the md5sum against ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5. | |
e6cc22dc | 140 | |
5e5be903 IJ |
141 | :invite |
142 | invite <nick> ... on channel | |
143 | invite <channel> <nick> ... privately | |
144 | This command gets me to invite the specified people to the channel. | |
145 | This can be disabled for managed channels - see `help !userinvite'. | |
146 | To get me to join a channel, just invite me to it. | |
e6cc22dc | 147 | |
5e5be903 | 148 | :register |
e6cc22dc IJ |
149 | register register your nick (or make it secure) |
150 | register delete delete your nick registration | |
151 | register insecure register your nick insecurely | |
152 | I only store settings for registered nicks. For `insecure' nicks | |
bdf495dc IJ |
153 | anyone who currently holds that nick can change its settings (see |
154 | `help !set', including securing it to their username. `secure' | |
155 | nicks can only have their settings changed by the user to which they | |
156 | are registered, after identifying themselves (see `help !identify'). | |
e6cc22dc | 157 | |
5e5be903 | 158 | :set |
e6cc22dc IJ |
159 | set show your current settings |
160 | set <option> show the current setting of <option> | |
161 | set <option> <value> set <option> to <value> | |
5e5be903 IJ |
162 | See also `help !register' and `help !identify'. See `help !overview' |
163 | for the list of options, and `help <option>' for specific info. | |
