This is an exhaustive list of all the Tcl commands added to eggdrop.  All
of the normal Tcl built-in commands are still there, of course.  But you
can also use these to manipulate features of the bot.  They are listed
according to category.

NOTICE:  Quite a lot has changed in the transition to v1.0!
SCRIPTS WHICH WERE WRITTEN FOR v0.9 WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK WITHOUT SERIOUS
MODIFICATION.  To help along the transition to v1.0 scripts, I have marked
the changed commands (and new ones) by putting vertical bars to the left.
Anything that uses those commands will need to be changed for v1.0.



*** OUTPUT COMMANDS ***

  putserv <text>
    sends text to the server, like 'dump' (intended for direct server
      commands)
    returns: nothing

  puthelp <text>
    sends text to the server like 'puthelp', but uses a different queue
      (intended for sending messages to channels or people)
    returns: nothing

| puterror <text>
|   [no longer exists: use putlog]

  putlog <text>
    sends text to the log for any channel, marked as 'misc' (o)

  idx2hand <idx>
    returns: handle of the user with that idx

  getchan <idx>
    returns: the current party line channel for a user on the party line --
      "0" indicates he's on the group party line, "-1" means he has chat off,
      and a value from 1 to 99999 is a private channel

  setchan <idx> <channel>

|     put under 'control' yet)

| whom <chan>
|   returns: list of people on the botnet who are on that channel (0 is

|     'connect' so no input is lost
|   returns: idx of the new connection

| dccdumpfile <idx> <filename>

      (which means that person has too many file transfers going right now)

| filesend <idx> <filename> [ircnick]
|   like dccsend, except it operates for a current filesystem user, and
|     the filename is assumed to be a relative path from that user's
|     current directory
|   returns: "0" on failure; "1" on success (either an immediate send
|     or a queued send)

  bind <type> <attr(s)> <command-name> <proc-name>
    adds a new keyword command to the bot; valid types are listed below; the
      <attr(s)> are the flags that a user must have to trigger this command;
      the <command-name> for each type is listed below; <proc-name> is the
      name of the Tcl procedure to call for this command (see below for the
      format of the procedure call)

      the idx of the user, and the input text; the command should return "0"
      to indicate success and "1" to indicate that it relinquishes control of
      the user back to the bot; the idx must be for a user in the party line

|     full to store a note, "4" if a Tcl binding caught the note, "5" if
|     the note was stored because the user is away, or "0" if the send failed

  link [via-bot] <bot>

    current nickname the bot is using, ie 'Valis' or 'Valis0', etc

  botname
    current nick!user@host that the server sees, ie '[email protected]'

  server
    current server the bot is using, ie 'irc.math.ufl.edu:6667'

| version
|   current bot version (ie: "1.0k 1200"); first item is the text version,
|     second item is a numerical version, and any following items are the
|     names of patches that have been added


COMMAND EXTENSION:

You can use the 'bind' command to attach Tcl procedures to certain events.
For example, you can write a Tcl procedure that gets called every time a
user says "danger" on the channel.  The following is a list of the types of
bindings, and how they work.  Under each binding type is the format of the
bind command, the list of arguments sent to the Tcl proc, and an explanation.

Some bindings are marked as "stackable".  That means that you can bind
multiple commands to the same trigger.  Normally, for example, a binding
of "bind msg - stop msg_stop" (which makes a msg-command "stop" call the
Tcl proc "msg_stop") will overwrite any previous binding you had for the
msg-command "stop".  With stackable bindings, like 'msgm' for example,
you can bind to the same command or mask again and again.  When the
binding is triggered, ALL the Tcl procs that are bound to it will be
called, one after another.

To remove a binding, use "unbind".  For example, to remove that binding
for the msg-command "stop", use "unbind msg - stop msg_stop". 


  (1)  MSG
       bind msg <flags> <command> <proc>
       procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <args>

       used for /msg commands; the first word of the user's msg is the
       command, and everything else becomes the argument string

  (2)  DCC
       bind dcc <flags> <command> <proc>
       procname <handle> <idx> <args>

       used for commands from a dcc chat on the party line; as in MSG, the
       command is the first word and everything else is the argument string;
       the idx is valid until the user disconnects; after that it may be
       reused, to be careful about storing an idx for long periods of time

  (3)  FIL
       bind fil <flags> <command> <proc>
       procname <handle> <idx> <args>

       the same as DCC, except this is triggered if the user is in the file
       area instead of the party line

| (4)  PUB
|      bind pub <flags> <command> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <args>
|
|      used for commands given on a channel; just like MSG, the first word
|      becomes the command and everything else is the argument string

  (5)  MSGM   (stackable)
       bind msgm <flags> <mask> <proc>
       procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <text>

       matches the entire line of text from a /msg with the mask; this is
       more useful for binding Tcl procs to words or phrases spoken anywhere
       within a line of text

| (6)  PUBM   (stackable)
|      bind pubm <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <text>
| 
|      just like MSGM, except it's triggered by things said on a channel
|      instead of things /msg'd to the bot; the mask is matched against
|      the channel name followed by the text, ie, "#nowhere hello there!",
|      and can contain wildcards

| (7)  JOIN   (stackable)
|      bind join <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel>
| 
|      triggered by someone joining the channel; the <mask> in the bind
|      is matched against "#channel nick!user@host" and can contain
|      wildcards

| (8)  PART   (stackable)
|      bind part <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel>
|
|      triggered by someone leaving the channel; as in JOIN, the <mask>
|      is matched against "#channel nick!user@host" and can contain
|      wildcards

| (9)  SIGN   (stackable)
|      bind sign <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <reason>
| 
|      triggered by a signoff, or possibly by someone who got netsplit and
|      never returned; the signoff message is the last argument to the proc;
|      wildcards can be used in <mask>, which contains the channel name

| (10) TOPC   (stackable)
|      bind topc <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <topic>
|
|      triggered by a topic change; can use wildcards in <mask>, which is
|      matched against the channel name and new topic

| (11) KICK   (stackable)
|      bind kick <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <kicked-nick> <reason>
| 
|      triggered when someone is kicked off the channel; the <mask> is
|      matched against "#channel nick" where the nickname is of the person
|      who got kicked off (can use wildcards); the proc is called with
|      the nick, user@host, and handle of the kicker, plus the channel,
|      the nickname of the person who was kicked, and the reason; <flags>
|      is unused here

| (12) NICK   (stackable)
|      bind nick <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <newnick>
| 
|      triggered when someone changes nicknames; wildcards are allowed;
|      the mask is matched against "#channel newnick"

| (13) MODE   (stackable)
|      bind mode <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      proc-name <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel> <mode-change>
| 
|      mode changes are broken down into their component parts before being
|      sent here, so the <mode-change> will always be a single mode, like
|      "+m" or "-o snowbot"; flags are ignored; the bot's automatic response
|      to a mode change will happen AFTER all matching Tcl procs are called;
|      the <mask> will have the channel prefixed (ie, "#turtle +m")

  (14) CTCP
       bind ctcp <flags> <keyword-mask> <proc>
       proc-name <nick> <user@host> <handle> <dest> <keyword> <args...>
    
       destination will be a nickname (the bot's nickname, obviously) or
       a channel name; keyword is the ctcp command and args may be empty;
|      if the proc returns 0, the bot will attempt its own processing of
|      the ctcp command

  (15) CTCR
       bind ctcr <flags> <keyword-mask> <proc>
       proc-name <nick> <user@host> <handle> <dest> <keyword> <args...>
 
       just like ctcp, but this is triggered for a ctcp-reply (ie, ctcp
       embedded in a notice instead of a privmsg)

  (16) RAW   (stackable)
       bind raw <flags> <mask> <proc>
       procname <raw-string>

       THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU COMPILED WITH RAW ENABLED
       the mask is checked against every incoming string from the server; the
       proc is given the entire string, just as it came from the server; flags
       are ignored

  (17) BOT
       bind bot <flags> <command> <proc>
       proc-name <from-bot> <command> <args>

       triggered by a message coming from another bot in the botnet; works
       similar to a DCC binding; the first word is the command and the rest
       becomes the argument string; flags are ignored

  (18) CHON   (stackable)
       bind chon <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <handle> <idx>

       when someone first enters the "party-line" area of the bot via dcc
       chat or telnet, this is triggered before they are connected to a
       chat channel (so yes, you can change the channel in a 'chon' proc);
       mask matches against handle; this is NOT triggered when someone
       returns from the file area, etc

  (19) CHOF   (stackable)
       bind chof <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <handle> <idx>

       triggered when someone leaves the party line to disconnect from the
       bot; mask matches against the handle; note that the connection may
       have already been dropped by the user, so don't send output to that
       idx

  (20) SENT   (stackable)
       bind sent <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <handle> <nick> <path/to/file>

       after a user has successfully downloaded a file from the bot, this
       binding is triggered; mask is matched against the handle of the user
       that initiated the transfer; nick is the actual recipient (on IRC) of
       the file; the path is relative to the dcc directory (unless the file
       transfer was started by a script call to 'dccsend', in which case the
       path is the exact path given in the call to 'dccsend')

  (21) RCVD   (stackable)
       bind rcvd <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <handle> <nick> <path/to/file>
 
       triggered after a user uploads a file successfully; mask is matched
       against the user's handle; nick is the nickname on IRC that the file
       transfer originated from; the path is where the file ended up,
       relative to the dcc directory (usually this is your incoming dir)

  (22) CHAT   (stackable)
       bind chat <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <nick> <channel#> <text>

       when someone says something on the botnet, it invokes this binding;
       flags is ignored; nick could be a user on this bot (ie "DronePup")
       or on another bot (ie "Eden@Wilde"); the mask is checked against the
       text

  (23) LINK   (stackable)
       bind link <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <botname> <via>

       triggered when a bot links into the botnet; botname is the name of
       the bot that just linked in; via is the bot it linked through; the
       mask is checked against the bot that linked; flags is ignored

  (24) DISC   (stackable)
       bind disc <flags> <mask> <proc>
       proc-name <botname>

       triggered when a bot disconnects from the botnet for whatever reason;
       just like the link bind, flags are ignored; mask is checked against the
       nickname of the bot that left

| (25) SPLT   (stackable)
|      bind splt <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel>
| 
|      triggered when someone gets netsplit on the channel; be aware that
|      this may be a false alarm (it's easy to fake a netsplit signoff
|      message); <mask> may contain wildcards, and is matched against the
|      channel and nick!user@host just like join; anyone who is SPLT will
|      trigger a REJN or SIGN within the next 15 minutes

| (26) REJN   (stackable)
|      bind rejn <flags> <nick!user@host> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <channel>
|
|      someone who was split has rejoined; <mask> can contain wildcards,
|      and contains channel and nick!user@host just like join

| (27) FILT   (stackable)
|      bind filt <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      procname <idx> <text>
|
|      DCC party line and file system users have their text sent through
|      filt before being processed; if the proc returns a 1, the text is
|      considered parsed, otherwise the bot will continue to process the
|      text as a command, etc

| (28) FLUD   (stackable)
|      bind flud <flags> <type> <proc>
|      procname <nick> <user@host> <handle> <type> <channel>
|
|      any floods detected through the flood control settings (like
|      'flood-ctcp') are sent here before processing; if the proc
|      returns 1, no further action is taken on the flood; if the proc
|      returns 0, the bot will do its normal "punishment" for the flood;
|      the flood type is "pub", "msg", "join", or "ctcp" (and can be
|      masked to "*" for the bind); flags is ignored

| (29) NOTE
|      bind note <flags> <nickname> <proc>
|      procname <from> <to> <text>
|
|      incoming notes (either from the party line, someone on IRC, or
|      someone on another bot on the botnet) are checked against these
|      binds before being process; if a bind exists, the bot will not
|      deliver the note; the nickname must be an exact match (no wild-
|      cards), but it is not case sensitive; flags is ignored

| (30) ACT   (stackable)
|      bind act <flags> <mask> <proc>
|      proc-name <nick> <channel#> <action>
|
|      when someone does an action on the botnet, it invokes this binding;
|      flags is ignored; the mask is checked against the text of the
|      action (this is very similar to the CHAT binding)



(A) RETURN VALUES

    Several bindings pay attention to the value you return from the proc
    (using "return $value").  Usually they expect a 0 or 1, and failing
    to return any value is interpreted as a 0.

    Here's a list of the bindings that use the return value from procs
    they trigger:

    MSG   Return 1 to make the command get logged like so:
          (nick!user@host) !handle! command

    DCC   Return 1 to make the command get logged like so:
          #handle# command

    FIL   Return 1 to make the command get logged like so:
          #handle# files: command

    PUB   Return 1 to make the command get logged like so:
          <<nick>> !handle! command

    CTCP  Return 1 to ask the bot not to process the CTCP command on its
          own.  Otherwise it would send its own response to the CTCP
          (possibly an error message if it doesn't know how to deal with
          it).

    FILT  Return 1 to indicate the text has been processed, and the bot
          should just ignore it.  Otherwise it will treat the text like
          any other.

    FLUD  Return 1 to ask the bot not to take action on the flood.
          Otherwise it will do its normal punishment.


(B) CONTROL PROCEDURES

    Using the 'control' command you can put a DCC connection (or outgoing
    TCP connection) in control of a script.  All text that comes in on
    the connection is sent to the proc you specify.  All outgoing text
    should be sent with 'putdcc'.

    The control procedure is called with these parameters:
       procname <idx> <input-text>
    This allows you to use the same proc for several connections.  The
    idx will stay the same until the connection is dropped -- after that,
    it will probably get reused for a later connection.

    To indicate that the connection has closed, your control procedure
    will be called with blank text (the input-text will be "").  This
    is the only time it will ever be called with "" as the text, and it
    is the last time your proc will be called for that connection.

    If you want to hand control of your connection back to eggdrop, your
    proc should return 1.  Otherwise, return 0 to retain control.


(C) MATCH CHARACTERS

    Many of the bindings allow match characters in the arguments.  Here
    are the four special characters:

    ?  matches any single character
    *  matches 0 or more characters of any type
    %  matches 0 or more non-space characters (can be used to match a
          single word)
    ~  matches 1 or more space characters (can be used for whitespace
          between words)
