+Hsbot
+=====
+
+Hsbot is an IRC bot written in haskell.
+
+Quick Start
+===========
+
+Configuration goes in $HOME/.config/hsbot/hsbot.hs, here is a minimal example :
+
+ import Hsbot
+ import Hsbot.Config
+ import Hsbot.Plugin.Ping
+ import Hsbot.Types
+ import Hsbot.Utils
+
+ main :: IO ()
+ main = do
+ hsbot defaultConfig { configAddress = "irc.example.org"
+ , configTLS = noSSL
+ , configPort = PortNumber 1337
+ , configPassword = Nothing
+ , configChannels = ["#hsbot", "#geek"]
+ , configNicknames = ["hsbot"]
+ , configRealname = "The One True bot, with its haskell soul."
+ , configPlugins = [ ping ] }
+
+Configuration Guide
+===================
+
+You can find all configuration options available in the Hsbot/Config file : use the source Luke! Anyway, here are some of the most common stuff you might need.
+
+TLS
+---
+
+To connect with SSL/TLS use the following :
+
+ hsbot defaultConfig { ...
+ , configTLS = defaultTLSConfig { sslVerify = False }
+
+Logging
+-------
+
+You can implement logging using the standard haskell library, for example :
+
+ import System.Log.Logger
+ ...
+ updateGlobalLogger rootLoggerName (setLevel DEBUG)
+
+Connecting to multiple servers
+------------------------------
+
+Just use the power of forkIO :
+
+ import Control.Concurrent
+ ...
+ forkIO $ hsbot defaultConfig { ...
+
+Plugins
+=======
+
+Admin
+-----
+
+The admin plugin allows you to remotely perform basic administration tasks. To use it you have to configure an access list and activate the plugin :
+
+ import qualified Network.IRC as IRC
+ import Hsbot.Plugin.Admin
+ ...
+ hsbot defaultConfig { ...
+ , configAccess = [ AccessList { accessMask = IRC.NickName "adyxax" (Just "~adyxax") (Just "where-you-are-connecting-from")
+ , accessList = [Admin] } ]
+ , configPlugins = [ admin, ping ]
+ , ...
+
+Beware that access lists currently dont support regex, it is planned for a future version.
+
+Duck
+----
+
+A shoot the duck game, featuring a lot of cute UTF-8 friendly ducks :
+
+ import Hsbot.Plugin.Duck
+ ...
+ let dargs = defaultDuckArgs { duckChannel = "#geek", duckFreq = 7200 } }
+ hsbot defaultConfig { ...
+ , configPlugins = [ ping, duck { pluginEp = theDuck dargs } ]
+ , ...
+
+Quote
+-----
+
+The quote module allows to keep sayings for posterity and legend :
+
+ import Hsbot.Plugin.Quote
+ ...
+ hsbot defaultConfig { ...
+ , configPlugins = [ ping, quote ]
+ , ...
+
