AcroBot is an IRC bot that expands a provided acronym or abbreviation, if available. It supports context tags (@tag_name) to distinguish between various usages, and to differentiate between like acronyms.
Acrobot looks for the file named acrobot_cfg.yml first in $HOME, then where AcroBot.rb was installed
The configuration values available are:
- nick: The nickname AcroBot will use in-channel
- realname: Expanded realname (usually used for instructions on how to get help)
- user: The user AcroBot uses to connect to IRC
- server: The IRC server to use
- channels: List of channels to join. Format is
['#CHAN-1','#CHAN-2',...] - prefix: Prefix for AcroBot to pay attention to (usually
/^!/)
AcroBot uses a flat YAML file to store the abbreviations it has learned about.
That file resides at #{install_dir}/abbrev.yml.
AcroBot must have RW access to that file when running.
