It's a modular IRC bot written in C!
minverabot is a simple multi-threaded bot written in C.
It is the continuation of an old effort to write an IRC bot.
- modular
- reload modules without restarting the bot
- commands run in threads (all bot interface functions are threadsafe)
- Errors in a command don't kill the entire bot
- SSL support
The bot reads all config options from environment variables.
BOT_NICK - Nick that the bot uses
BOT_USER - The ident for the bot
BOT_NAME - The realname of the bot
BOT_LOG_VERBOSITY - The verbosity of the bot on stdout (default to 1, 2 = raw send/receive, 1 = messages only, 0 = nothing)
BOT_NETWORK_HOST - The host irc server
BOT_NETWORK_PORT - The port of the irc server
BOT_NETWORK_SSL - Whether or not to use SSL (default to '0', set to '1' to enable SSL)
BOT_NETWORK_PASSWORD - A password for the server, if applicable (use 'nickserv username:nickserv pass' for SASL)
BOT_PREFIX - The prefix to use (if omitted, defaults to ',')
BOT_MODULES_DIR - The directory where modules are (if omitted, defaults to modules/)
BOT_OWNER_HOST - The host of the owner (if omitted, there is no owner)
When a file in the modules directory is modified, it is automatically re-loaded.
