IBID-FACTPACK(1)					     Ibid - Multi-protocol Bot						  IBID-FACTPACK(1)

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.
