IBID(1) 						     Ibid - Multi-protocol Bot							   IBID(1)

NAME

       ibid - Run an Ibid bot

SYNOPSIS

       ibid [config-file]

DESCRIPTION

       This runs an Ibid bot in the foreground.

       There  should  there  be  an existing ibid.ini (created by ibid-setup(1)) in the current directory or one should be provided on the command
       line.

       Where possible, you should run twistd -n ibid instead of this program, as otherwise some classes of errors go unreported.  See BUGS.

BUGS

       Exceptions in twisted callbacks can go unnoticed in this program.  That has no harmful effects, but the developers may  miss  out  on  some
       good bug reports.

FILES

       ibid.ini
	      The Ibid bot's configuration file, will be created if it doesn't exist.

NAME

       ibid-pb-client - RPC Client for Ibid

SYNOPSIS

       ibid-pb-client [options...]  message message
       ibid-pb-client [options...]  plugin feature method [parameter...]
       ibid-pb-client -h

DESCRIPTION

       This utility is for passing events to a running Ibid bot, or executing RPC-exposed functions remotely.

       It communicates with the pb source on the Ibid.

       message is a text message as could be sent to the bot by an IM source.  The message is processed normally by the bot.

       feature	is  the name of the feature to invoke exposed method method on, directly.  parameters are passed directly to the method.  They can
       be specified positionally or by key, using the same syntax as Python: key=value.  They may be encoded in JSON, if not valid JSON they  will
       be treated as strings.

       The output is a JSON-encoded response.

	      Connect to the Ibid running on SERVER, by default it connects to localhost.

       -p FILE, --port=PORT
	      Connect to the pb source running on port PORT, by default 8789.
