botti(1)

📦 version 1.2.3, in ubuntu jammy

💖 botti — the manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, so you know how there's this whole botti(1) situation in the General Commands Manual? yeah. section 1. it's giving "run your little irssi bot with zero UI drama" and honestly? obsessed. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

botti — run an irssi module, like a bot, but with no UI at all. no windows, no vibes-checking, just the module doing its thing. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

botti [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. options only, no positional args, she's low maintenance like that. 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this manual page documents, briefly, the botti command. brief but iconic, yk?

Here's the tea: botti lets you run an irssi module without a UI. Which is most useful for bots — hence the name, hence the whole situation. And by default, botti will load the "bot" module, so it literally just works out of the box. no cap. ✨

🎀 little lore drop: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so yeah, this is a Debian original, we're the main characters here. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

one bullet per option, every single one, no skipping, we don't do that here 💖

  • --config — specify where the configuration file lives. by default it's ~/.irssi/config. 📁
  • --home — specify where the irssi home directory lives. by default it's ~/.irssi. 🏠
  • -l, --load — specify a module to load. by default, it's "bot". this is the whole point, bestie. 🔥
  • --session — an option used by the /UPGRADE command. iykyk. 🦋
  • -?, --help — print instructions. the classic. the icon. 💅
  • --usage — print simple usage instructions. short and sweet, less words than --help, still slays. ⭐

cute sign-off time: this is the botti(1) page from the General Commands Manual — section 1, in case you forgot — and ngl there's no version or date stamped on this footer, it's just botti(1) being mysterious and minimal, which is honestly so her. go run your bot, ily, bye 🦋✨
