NAME

       ibid-knab-import - Knab->Ibid Import utility

SYNOPSIS

       ibid-knab-import knab-sa-url source [config-file]

DESCRIPTION

       This utility imports users, last seen information, factoids, and URLs from a Knab bot's database into an Ibid.

       For best results, import directly into a brand new, clean Ibid install.

       On import, strings are converted to Unicode, guessing UTF-8 and falling back to detection.

OPTIONS

       knab-sa-url
	      The SQLAlchemy URI for the Knab's database.  The format is mysql://user:pass@hostname/dbname

       source The name in the Ibid bot for the source that the Knab was previously connected to.

       config-file
	      If supplied, this is configuration file is used for locating the Ibid's database rather than ibid.ini.

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.

NAME

       ibid.ini - Configuration file for Ibid

DESCRIPTION

       ibid.ini contains all the configuration for an Ibid bot.

       A  complete  description  of  the  contents of this file is out of the scope of this manpage.  For more details see the Ibid documentation:
       http://ibid.omnia.za.net/docs/

       Lines beginning with # are considered to be comments and ignored.  To use a # symbol in an option (e.g. an IRC  channel	name),	quote  the
       option with double-quotes, e.g.	channels="#ibid",

       This  file  will be written to by the bot when configuration settings are altered online.  It can also be edited manually and a running bot
       told to "reload config".  Manual edits and comments will be preserved when the bot modifies its own configuration, provided that they  have
       not been edited since bot start-up or the last config reload.

SECTIONS

   auth
       Settings  related  to  permissions  and	authentication.  Permissions listed in auth.permissions are granted to all users unless revoked by
       source or account.

   sources
       Sources are Ibid connections to an IM service.  They range from IRC networks to the bot's built-in HTTP server.

       Each source is configured in a section named after the source.  The source name will define the driver that the source should use, unless a
       type option is provided.

       Sources can be disabled by setting disabled=True.

   plugins
       Plugin configuration.  Each plugin is configured within a section named after the plugin.

       cachedir
	      The directory that temporary files (such as downloaded data), useful to be the bot but expendable, is stored in.

       core.autoload
	      If  True,  all  plugins  not  explicitly	ignored  will  be  loaded.  (Note that some plugins mark themselves as non-auto-loadable).
	      Defaults to True.

       core.load
	      The list of plugins (or plugin.Processors) to load.

       core.noload
	      The list of plugins (or plugin.Processors) to ignore and not load.

       core.names
	      The names that the bot should respond to.

       core.ignore
	      Nicks that the bot should completely ignore (e.g. other bots).
