| | 29 | |
| | 30 | :summon |
| | 31 | summon <username> |
| | 32 | Invites a logged-on user onto IRC. If the user is not logged on |
| | 33 | you'll be told. Target users can change this (eg, to disable it) |
| | 34 | by reconfiguring the userv service `irc-summon'. See ~ian/.userv. |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | :who |
| | 37 | who [<nick>] |
| | 38 | Gives information about who I think the nick is (or who I think you |
| | 39 | are), including whether the nick is registered, whether it is |
| | 40 | associated with a username and if so who, and whether the current |
| | 41 | user of the nick has identified themselves to me. |
| | 42 | See `help !register'. |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | #:convert |
| | 45 | #convert <number> <unit> |
| | 46 | # Converts the specified quantity into SI units. Units that are |
| | 47 | # understood are any understood by units(1) and also |
| | 48 | # kelvin celsius fahrenheit (convert to celsius or kelvin) |
| | 49 | #(Not yet implemented.) |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | :op |
| | 52 | op [<channel>] on channel |
| | 53 | op <channel> (privately) |
| | 54 | I'll give you channel operator privilege, if you're a manager. |
| | 55 | See `help !manager'. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | :channel |
| | 58 | channel [<chan>] [show] show settings |
| | 59 | channel [<chan>] !manager +|-|= <nick> ... set manager list |
| | 60 | channel [<chan>] !autojoin yes|no join at bot start ? |
| | 61 | channel [<chan>] !userinvite pub|here|all|none who can \!invite ? |
| | 62 | channel [<chan>] !mode *|+...-... set modes when alone |
| | 63 | See `help <setting>' (eg, `help manager') for more info. |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | :autojoin |
| | 66 | !channel [<chan>] autojoin yes|no (`yes' is the default.) |
| | 67 | Controls whether I'll join the channel when I'm (re)started. |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | :userinvite |
| | 70 | \!invite /msg ... invite ... |
| | 71 | channel [<chan>] userinvite pub allowed refused |
| | 72 | channel [<chan>] userinvite here allowed only if user on chan |
| | 73 | channel [<chan>] userinvite all allowed any user can invite |
| | 74 | channel [<chan>] userinvite none refused refused |
| | 75 | Controls whether the `invite' command works for this channel, and |
| | 76 | who can use it (`help !invite'). `userinvite pub' is the default. |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | :mode |
| | 79 | !channel [<chan>] mode *+...-...| (`mode *' is default.) |
| | 80 | If not set to `*' then whenever I'm alone in the channel I'll set |
| | 81 | and unset the channel modes specified. Only the modes imnpst are |
| | 82 | supported. Precede one or more mode letters with + to set, - to |
| | 83 | unset; any letters not mentioned will be left alone. |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | :manager |
| | 86 | !channel [<chan>] manager + <nick> <nick> ... add managers |
| | 87 | !channel [<chan>] manager - <nick> <nick> ... remove managers |
| | 88 | !channel [<chan>] manager = <nick> <nick> ... set new manager list |
| | 89 | Managers are those who can use the `channel' command to change |
| | 90 | channel settings. Manager status is only effective for secure |
| | 91 | nicks, after the manager has identified themselves. |
| | 92 | If you op me on an unmanaged channel you become the only manager, |
| | 93 | but you must use `!channel' to change a channel setting to make this |
| | 94 | permanent. To make a channel unmanaged, make it have no managers. |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | :identify |
| | 97 | You must identify yourself to change your settings if your nick is |
| | 98 | secure, and to use channel management commands. In ircII on chiark, |
| | 99 | just say `/!blight-id'. For other clients, see `help !identpass'. |
| | 100 | Once you are identified you can then register new nicks, change |
| | 101 | settings, etc. - so long as you remain on a channel that I'm on too |
| | 102 | (see `help !invite'). See also `help !register'. |
| | 103 | |
| | 104 | :blight-id |
| | 105 | /blight-id is a command available in ircII (and possibly other |
| | 106 | clients) on chiark. It sets up a password if you don't already have |
| | 107 | one, and then uses it to identify you to Blight. If you want to |
| | 108 | change your password, delete the file ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5. |
| | 109 | See `help !register' and `help !identpass'. |
| | 110 | |
| | 111 | :identpass |
| | 112 | identpass <username> <password> |
| | 113 | Identifies you to Blight. To set up your password, or be reminded |
| | 114 | of it, run the shell command `irc-blight-id' on chiark. |
| | 115 | (On ircII on chiark `/!blight-id' is easier, see `help !blight-id'.) |
| | 116 | See `help !identpass-internals' for technical details. |
| | 117 | |
| | 118 | :identpass-internals |
| | 119 | Identification, for example with /!blight-id, is actually done with |
| | 120 | `!identpass', which feeds the md5sum of the password to `userv |
| | 121 | <username> irc-identpass <nick>'. That must exit 0 if all is well. |
| | 122 | By default this checks the md5sum against ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5. |
| | 123 | |
| | 124 | :invite |
| | 125 | invite <nick> ... on channel |
| | 126 | invite <channel> <nick> ... privately |
| | 127 | This command gets me to invite the specified people to the channel. |
| | 128 | This can be disabled for managed channels - see `help !userinvite'. |
| | 129 | To get me to join a channel, just invite me to it. |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | :register |
| | 132 | register register your nick (or make it secure) |
| | 133 | register delete delete your nick registration |
| | 134 | register insecure register your nick insecurely |
| | 135 | I only store settings for registered nicks. For `insecure' nicks |
| | 136 | anyone who currently holds that nick can change its settings, |
| | 137 | including securing it to their username. `secure' nicks can only |
| | 138 | have their settings changed by the user to which they are |
| | 139 | registered, after identifying themselves (see `help !identify'). |
| | 140 | |
| | 141 | :set |
| | 142 | set show your current settings |
| | 143 | set <option> show the current setting of <option> |
| | 144 | set <option> <value> set <option> to <value> |
| | 145 | See also `help !register' and `help !identify'. See `help !overview' |
| | 146 | for the list of options, and `help <option>' for specific info. |
| | 147 | |
| | 148 | :timeformat |
| | 149 | set timeformat ks show times in seconds, kiloseconds, etc. |
| | 150 | set timeformat hms use days, hours, minutes, seconds |
