DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

19       --version
20              Show version of program.
21
22       -h, --help
23              Show summary of options.
24
25       -P, --profile
26              Enable profiling.
27
28       -n NICK, --nick=NICK
29              Nick the bot should use.
30
31       -u USER, --user=USER
32              Full username the bot should use.
33
34       -i IDENT, --ident=IDENT
35              Ident the bot should use.
36
37       -d, --daemon
38              Determines  whether  the bot will daemonize.  This is a no-op on
39              non-POSIX systems.
40
41       --allow-default-owner
42              Determines whether the bot will  allow  its  defaultCapabilities
43              not  to  include "-owner", thus giving all users the owner capa‐
44              bility by default.  This is dumb, hence we  require  a  command-
45              line option to enable it.
46
47       --allow-root
48              Determines  whether the bot will be allowed to run as root.  You
49              do not want this.  Do not do it.  Even if you think you want it,
50              you do not.
51
52       --debug
53              Determines  whether some extra debugging stuff will be logged by
54              this script.
