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.
