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 pro-
       viding 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.
