πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
limnoria [options] configFile
π DESCRIPTION π
so like. Limnoria is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC bot. no cap. it's literally aiming to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots out there, which is a whole mood.
the way it comes with a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling access to commands? iconic. obsessed. and on top of that it ships with more than 50 builtin plugins providing around 400 actual commands. four hundred. bestie. that's not a bot, that's an empire π
π OPTIONS π
--versionβ shows you the version of the program. that's it, that's the whole job π«-h,--helpβ shows a summary of the options, aka the lil cheat sheet when you're lost π«Ά-P,--profileβ enables profiling. let it snoop on itself, it's fine π§-n NICK,--nick=NICKβ the nick the bot should use. pick something cute π-u USER,--user=USERβ the full username the bot should use β¨-i IDENT,--ident=IDENTβ the ident the bot should use πΈ-d,--daemonβ determines whether the bot will daemonize. heads up: this is a no-op on non-POSIX systems, so don't come for it if nothing happens on Windows π¦--allow-default-ownerβ determines whether the bot will allow itsdefaultCapabilitiesnot to include"-owner", thus giving all users the owner capability by default. and like... this is dumb, hence why they make you pass a command-line option to enable it. they're protecting you from yourself fr fr π--allow-rootβ determines whether the bot will be allowed to run as root. bestie. you do not want this. do not do it. even if you think you want it, you do not. this is not the vibe. this is the opposite of the vibe π--debugβ determines whether some extra debugging stuff will be logged by this script. for when you need the tea β
