USERS AND FLAGS


People on IRC are recognized by the bot according to their
nick!user@host. That is, if I am on IRC as:

  *** Robey is robey@hubcap.clemson.edu (i hate milk)

Eggdrop will identify me according to "Robey!robey@hubcap.clemson.edu"
and not only by my nickname.

Eggdrop does not have access levels like some bots. There are no
meaningless numbers or titles. Instead, each user has "flags" that
entitle them to certain privileges. Think of a flag as a badge. Any user
can have any number of flags -- you can have no flags, or you can have
all of them. Some flags are good, some are bad. Each flag is identified
by a letter. A channel flag applies only to a specific channel, and a
global flag applies to all channels. The standard global flags are:

    ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    n                owner                                                                    user has absolute control. Only give this flag to people you trust completely.
    m                master                                                                   user has access to almost every feature of the bot.

  All global flags other then u, h, b, c, x, j, and p are also
  channel-specific flags. Flags are set with the chattr command. The
  syntax for this command is:

      chattr <nickname> [attributes] [channel]

  There are also 26 global user-defined flags and 26 channel
  user-defined flags. These are used by scripts, and their uses very
  depending on the script that uses them.
