NAME

       ibid-factpack - Factoid-package management utility for Ibid

SYNOPSIS

       ibid-factpack [-s] factpack-file
       ibid-factpack -r [-f] factpack-name
       ibid-factpack -h

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  is for adding and removing sets of packaged factoids, known as factpacks, from your Ibid's
       factoid database.

       The default mode is factpack loading.  The factpack-file specified is loaded  into  the  bot's  database.
       Should  the  pack contain any facts with the same name as an existing fact in the bot's database, loading
       will be aborted, unless the -s option is supplied.

       Factpacks can be gzipped if the filename ends with .gz.

       When invoked with the -r option, the named factpack (original import filename minus the  extension)  will
       be  removed  from  the bot.  If any of the facts contained in that pack were modified while loaded in the
       bot, unloading will be aborted, unless the -f option is supplied.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remove
              Remove the named factpack, rather than importing.

       -f, --force
              Force removal, if facts in the factpack were modified by users.

       -s, --skip
              Skip facts that clash with existing factoids, during import.

       -h, --help
              Show a help message and exit.

FACTPACKS

       Factpacks are JSON-encoded text files containing a list of facts.  Each fact is a  tuple  of  two  lists:
       fact-names, fact-values.  The same substitutions are available as in normal online Factoids.

   Example:
       [
        [["Hello", "Hi"], ["<reply> Hi There", "<action> waves"]],
        [["Bye"], ["<reply> kbye $who", "<reply> Cheers"]]
       ]

FILES

       ibid.ini
              Locates  the  database  to  act  upon  by  looking  for  the  [databases].ibid  value  in  the bot
              configuration file in the current directory.
