NAME

       supybot - A robust and user friendly Python IRC bot

SYNOPSIS

       supybot [options] configFile

DESCRIPTION

       Supybot  is  a  robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC bot.  It aims to be an adequate
       replacement for most existing IRC bots.  It  includes  a  very  flexible  and  powerful  ACL  system  for
       controlling  access  to  commands,  as  well  as more than 50 builtin plugins providing around 400 actual
       commands.

OPTIONS

       --version
              Show version of program.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -P, --profile
              Enable profiling.

       -n NICK, --nick=NICK
              Nick the bot should use.

       -u USER, --user=USER
              Full username the bot should use.

       -i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
              Ident the bot should use.

       -d, --daemon
              Determines whether the bot will daemonize.  This is a no-op on non-POSIX systems.

       --allow-default-owner
              Determines whether the bot will allow its defaultCapabilities not to include "-owner", thus giving
              all  users  the owner capability by default.  This is dumb, hence we require a command-line option
              to enable it.

       --allow-root
              Determines whether the bot will be allowed to run as root.  You do not want this.  Do not  do  it.
              Even if you think you want it, you do not.

       --debug
              Determines whether some extra debugging stuff will be logged by this script.
