Eggdrop Tcl Commands Last revised: June 04, 2002 _________________________________________________________________ This is an exhaustive list of all the Tcl commands added to Eggdrop. All of the normal Tcl built-in commands are still there, of course, but you can also use these to manipulate features of the bot. They are listed according to category. This list is accurate for Eggdrop v1.6.11. Scripts written for v1.3/v1.4 series of Eggdrop should probably work with a few minor modifications depending on the script. Scripts which were written for v0.9, v1.0, v1.1 or v1.2 will probably not work without modification. Commands which have been changed in this version of Eggdrop (or are just new commands) are marked with vertical bars (|) on the left. *** OUTPUT COMMANDS *** putserv [options] Description: sends text to the server, like '.dump' (intended for direct server commands); output is queued so that the bot won't flood itself off the server. Options: -next: push messages to the front of the queue -normal: no effect Returns: nothing Module: server puthelp [options] Description: sends text to the server, like 'putserv', but it uses a different queue intended for sending messages to channels or people. Options: -next: push messages to the front of the queue -normal: no effect Returns: nothing Module: server putquick [options] Description: sends text to the server, like 'putserv', but it uses a different (and faster) queue. Options: -next: push messages to the front of the queue -normal: no effect Returns: nothing Module: server putkick [reason] Description: sends kicks to the server and tries to put as many nicks into one kick command as possible. Returns: nothing Module: irc putlog Description: sends text to the bot's logfile, marked as 'misc' (o) Returns: nothing Module: core putcmdlog Description: sends text to the bot's logfile, marked as 'command' (c) Returns: nothing Module: core putxferlog Description: sends text to the bot's logfile, marked as 'file-area' (x) Returns: nothing Module: core putloglev Description: sends text to the bot's logfile, tagged with all of the valid levels given. Use "*" to indicate all log levels. Returns: nothing Module: core dumpfile Description: dumps file from the help/text directory to a user on IRC via msg (one line per msg). The user has no flags, so the flag bindings won't work within the file. Returns: nothing Module: core queuesize [queue] Returns: the number of messages in all queues. If a queue is specified, only the size of this queue is returned. Valid queues are: mode, server, help. Module: server clearqueue Description: removes all messages from a queue. Valid arguments are: mode, server, help, or all. Returns: the number of deleted lines from the specified queue. Module: server *** USER RECORD MANIPULATION COMMANDS *** countusers Returns: number of users in the bot's database Module: core validuser Returns: 1 if a user by that name exists; 0 otherwise Module: core finduser Description: finds the user record which most closely matches the given nick!user@host Returns: the handle found, or "*" if none Module: core userlist [flags] Returns: a list of users on the bot. You can use the flag matching system here ([global]{&/|}[chan]{&/|}[bot]). '&' specifies "and"; '|' specifies "or". Module: core passwdok Description: checks the password given against the user's password. Check against the password "" (a blank string) or "-" to find out if a user has no password set. Returns: 1 if the password matches for that user; 0 otherwise Module: core getuser [extra info] Description: an interface to the new generic userfile support. Valid entry types are: BOTFL - returns the current bot-specific flags for the user (bot-only) BOTADDR - returns a list containing the bot's address, telnet port, and relay port (bot-only) HOSTS - returns a list of hosts for the user LASTON - returns a list containing the unixtime last seen and the last seen place. LASTON #channel returns the time last seen time for the channel or 0 if no info exists. INFO - returns the user's global info line XTRA - returns the user's XTRA info COMMENT - returns the master-visible only comment for the user EMAIL - returns the user's e-mail address URL - returns the user's url HANDLE - returns the user's handle as it is saved in the userfile PASS - returns the user's encrypted password Returns: info specific to each entry-type Module: core setuser [extra info] Description: this is the counterpart of getuser. It lets you set the various values. Other then the ones listed below, the entry-types are the same as getuser's. PASS - sets a users password (no third arg will clear it) HOSTS - if used with no third arg, all hosts for the user will be be cleared. Otherwise, *1* hostmask is added :P LASTON - This setting has 3 forms. "setuser LASTON " sets global LASTON time, "setuser LASTON " sets global LASTON time (leaving the place field empty), and "setuser LASTON " sets a users LASTON time for a channel (if it is a valid channel).

Changes are of the form '+f', '-o', '+dk', '-o+d', etc. If changes are specified in the format of | , the channel-specific flags for that channel are altered. You can now use the +o|-o #channel format here too. Returns: new flags for the user (if you made no changes, the current flags are returned). If a channel was specified, the global AND the channel-specific flags for that channel are returned in the format of globalflags|channelflags. "*" is returned if the specified user does not exist. Module: core botattr [changes [channel]] Description: similar to chattr except this modifies bot flags rather than normal user attributes. Returns: new flags for the bot (if you made no changes, the current flags are returned). If a channel was specified, the global AND the channel-specific flags for that channel are returned in the format of globalflags|channelflags. "*" is returned if the specified bot does not exist.

Returns: nothing Module: channels channels Returns: a list of the channels the bot has a channel record for Module: channels channame2dname chandname2name Description: these two functions are important to correctly support !channels. The bot differentiates between channel description names (chan dnames) and real channel names (chan names). The chan dnames are what you would normally call the channel, such as "!channel". The chan names are what the IRC server uses to identify the channel. They consist of the chan dname prefixed with an ID; such as "!ABCDEchannel". For bot functions like isop, isvoice, etc. you need to know the chan dnames. If you communicate with the server, you usually get the chan name, though. That's what you need the channame2dname function for. If you only have the chan dname and want to directly send raw server commands, use the chandname2name command. NOTE: For non-!channels, chan dname and chan name are the same.

Returns: list of nicknames currently on the bot's channel that have all of the flags specified;. If no flags are given, all of the nicknames are returned. Please note that if you're executing chanlist after a part or sign bind, the gone user will still be listed, so you can check for wasop, isop, etc. Module: irc getchanidle Returns: number of minutes that person has been idle; 0 if the specified user isn't on the channel Module: irc getchanmode Returns: string of the type "+ntik key" for the channel specified Module: irc jump [server [port [password]]] Description: jumps to the server specified, or (if none is specified) the next server in the bot's serverlist Returns: nothing Module: server pushmode [arg] Description: sends out a channel mode change (ex: pushmode #lame +o goober) through the bot's queuing system.

The command will be called with two parameters: the idx and the input text. The command should return 0 to indicate success and 1 to indicate that it relinquishes control of the user back to the bot. If the input text is blank (""), it indicates that the connection has been dropped. Also, if the input text is blank, never call killdcc on it, as it will fail with "invalid idx". Returns: nothing Module: core sendnote Description: simulates what happens when one user sends a note to another Returns: 0 - the send failed 1 - the note was delivered locally or sent to another bot 2 - the note was stored locally 3 - the user's notebox is too full to store a note 4 - a Tcl binding caught the note 5 - the note was stored because the user is away Module: core link [via-bot] Description: attempts to link to another bot directly.

[argN]] Description: This issues an asynchronous dns lookup request. The command will block if dns module is not loaded; otherwise it will either return immediately or immediately call the specified proc (e.g. if the lookup is already cached). As soon as the request completes, the specified proc will be called as follows: [[arg1] [arg2] ... [argN]] status is 1 if the lookup was successful and 0 if it wasn't. All additional parameters (called arg1, arg2 and argN above) get appended to the proc's other parameters.

For example, you can write a Tcl procedure that gets called every time a user says "danger" on the channel. Some bind types are marked as "stackable". That means that you can bind multiple commands to the same trigger. Normally, for example, a bind such as 'bind msg - stop msg:stop' (which makes a msg-command "stop" call the Tcl proc "msg:stop") will overwrite any previous binding you had for the msg command "stop". With stackable bindings, like 'msgm' for example, you can bind the same command to multiple procs. When the bind is triggered, ALL of the Tcl procs that are bound to it will be called. To remove a bind, use the 'unbind' command. For example, to remove the bind for the "stop" msg command, use 'unbind msg - stop msg:stop'. (A) BIND TYPES The following is a list of bind types and how they work. Below each bind type is the format of the bind command, the list of arguments sent to the Tcl proc, and an explanation. (1) MSG bind msg procname Description: used for /msg commands. The first word of the user's msg is the command, and everything else becomes the text argument. Module: server (2) DCC bind dcc procname Description: used for partyline commands; the command is the first word and everything else becomes the text argument. The idx is valid until the user disconnects. After that, it may be reused, so be careful about storing an idx for long periods of time. Module: core (3) FIL bind fil procname Description: the same as DCC, except this is triggered if the user is in the file area instead of the party line Module: filesys (4) PUB bind pub procname Description: used for commands given on a channel. The first word becomes the command and everything else is the text argument. Module: irc (5) MSGM (stackable) bind msgm procname Description: matches the entire line of text from a /msg with the mask. This is useful for binding Tcl procs to words or phrases spoken anywhere within a line of text. Module: server (6) PUBM (stackable) bind pubm procname Description: just like MSGM, except it's triggered by things said on a channel instead of things /msg'd to the bot. The mask is matched against the channel name followed by the text and can contain wildcards. Also, if a line triggers a PUB bind, it will not trigger a PUBM bind. Module: irc (7) NOTC (stackable) bind notc procname Description: dest will be a nickname (the bot's nickname, obviously) or a channel name. mask is matched against the entire notice and can contain wildcards. It is considered a breach of protocol to respond to a /notice on IRC, so this is intended for internal use (logging, etc.) only. Note that server notices do not trigger the NOTC bind. New Tcl procs should be declared as proc notcproc {nick uhost hand text {dest ""}} { global botnick; if {$dest == ""} {set dest $botnick} ... } for compatibility. Module: server (8) JOIN (stackable) bind join procname Description: triggered by someone joining the channel. The mask in the bind is matched against "#channel nick!user@host" and can contain wildcards. Module: irc (9) PART (stackable) bind part procname Description: triggered by someone leaving the channel. The mask is matched against "#channel nick!user@host" and can contain wildcards. If no part message is specified, msg will be set to "". New Tcl procs should be declared as proc partproc {nick uhost hand chan {msg ""}} { ... } for compatibility. Module: irc (10) SIGN (stackable) bind sign procname Description: triggered by a signoff, or possibly by someone who got netsplit and never returned. The signoff message is the last argument to the proc. Wildcards can be used in the mask, which is matched against '#channel nick!user@host'. Module: irc (11) TOPC (stackable) bind topc procname Description: triggered by a topic change. mask can contain wildcards and is matched against '#channel '. Module: irc (12) KICK (stackable) bind kick procname Description: triggered when someone is kicked off the channel. The mask is matched against '#channel target' where the target is the nickname of the person who got kicked (can contain wildcards). The proc is called with the nick, user@host, and handle of the kicker, plus the channel, the nickname of the person who was kicked, and the reason; flags are ignored. Module: irc (13) NICK (stackable) bind nick procname Description: triggered when someone changes nicknames. The mask is matched against '#channel newnick' and can contain wildcards. Module: irc (14) MODE (stackable) bind mode proc-name Description: mode changes are broken down into their component parts before being sent here, so the will always be a single mode, such as "+m" or "-o". victim will show the argument of the mode change (for o/v/b/e/I) or "" if the set mode does not take an argument. Flags are ignored. The bot's automatic response to a mode change will happen AFTER all matching Tcl procs are called. The mask will be matched against '#channel +/-modes' and can contain wildcards. If it is a server mode, nick will be "", user@host is the server name, and handle is *. Note that "victim" was added in 1.3.23 and that this will break Tcl scripts that were written for pre-1.3.23 versions and use this binding. An easy fix (by guppy) is as follows (example): Old script looks as follows: bind mode - * mode_proc proc mode_proc {nick uhost hand chan mc} { ... } To make it work with 1.3.23+ and stay compatible with older bots, do: bind mode - * mode_proc_fix proc mode_proc_fix {nick uhost hand chan mc {victim ""}} { if {$victim != ""} {append mc " $victim"} mode_proc $nick $uhost $hand $chan $mc } proc mode_proc {nick uhost hand chan mc} { ... } Module: irc (15) CTCP (stackable) bind ctcp proc-name Description: dest will be a nickname (the bot's nickname, obviously) or channel name. keyword is the ctcp command (which can contain wildcards), and text may be empty. If the proc returns 0, the bot will attempt its own processing of the ctcp command. Module: server (16) CTCR (stackable) bind ctcr proc-name Description: just like ctcp, but this is triggered for a ctcp-reply (ctcp embedded in a notice instead of a privmsg) Module: server (17) RAW (stackable) bind raw procname Description: previous versions of Eggdrop required a special compile option to enable this binding, but it's now standard. The mask is checked against the keyword (either a numeric, like "368", or a keyword, like "PRIVMSG"). from will be the server name or the source user (depending on the keyword); flags are ignored. The order of the arguments is identical to the order that the IRC server sends to the bot. The pre-processing only splits it apart enough to determine the keyword. If the proc returns 1, Eggdrop will not process the line any further (this could cause your bot to behave oddly in some cases). Module: server (18) BOT bind bot proc-name Description: triggered by a message coming from another bot in the botnet. The first word is the command and the rest becomes the text argument; flags are ignored. Module: core (19) CHON (stackable) bind chon proc-name Description: when someone first enters the party-line area of the bot via dcc chat or telnet, this is triggered before they are connected to a chat channel (so, yes, you can change the channel in a 'chon' proc). mask is matched against the handle and supports wildcards. This is NOT triggered when someone returns from the file area, etc. Module: core (20) CHOF (stackable) bind chof proc-name Description: triggered when someone leaves the party line to disconnect from the bot. mask is matched against the handle and can contain wildcards. Note that the connection may have already been dropped by the user, so don't send output to the idx. Module: core (21) SENT (stackable) bind sent proc-name Description: after a user has successfully downloaded a file from the bot, this binding is triggered. mask is matched against the handle of the user that initiated the transfer and supports wildcards. nick is the actual recipient (on IRC) of the file. The path is relative to the dcc directory (unless the file transfer was started by a script call to 'dccsend', in which case the path is the exact path given in the call to 'dccsend'). Module: transfer (22) RCVD (stackable) bind rcvd proc-name Description: triggered after a user uploads a file successfully. mask is matched against the user's handle. nick is the IRC nickname that the file transfer originated from. The path is where the file ended up, relative to the dcc directory (usually this is your incoming dir). Module: transfer (23) CHAT (stackable) bind chat proc-name Description: when someone says something on the botnet, it invokes this binding. Flags are ignored; handle could be a user on this bot ("DronePup") or on another bot ("Eden@Wilde") and therefore you can't rely on a local user record. The mask is checked against the entire line of text and supports wildcards. Module: core (24) LINK (stackable) bind link proc-name Description: triggered when a bot links into the botnet. botname is the botnetnick of the bot that just linked in; via is the bot it linked through. The mask is checked against the botnetnick of the bot that linked and supports wildcards. flags are ignored. Module: core (25) DISC (stackable) bind disc proc-name Description: triggered when a bot disconnects from the botnet for whatever reason. Just like the link bind, flags are ignored; mask is matched against the botnetnick of the bot that unlinked. Wildcards are supported in mask. Module: core (26) SPLT (stackable) bind splt procname Description: triggered when someone gets netsplit on the channel. Be aware that this may be a false alarm (it's easy to fake a netsplit signoff message on some networks); mask may contain wildcards and is matched against '#channel nick!user@host'. Anyone who is SPLT will trigger a REJN or SIGN within the next wait-split (defined in the config file) minutes. Module: irc (27) REJN (stackable) bind rejn procname Description: someone who was split has rejoined. mask can contain wildcards, and is matched against '#channel nick!user@host'. Module: irc (28) FILT (stackable) bind filt procname Description: party line and file system users have their text sent through filt before being processed. If the proc returns a blank string, the text is considered parsed. Otherwise, the bot will use the text returned from the proc and continue parsing that Module: core (29) NEED (stackable) bind need procname Description: this bind is triggered on certain events, like when the bot needs operator status or the key for a channel. The types are: op, unban, invite, limit, and key; the mask is matched against '#channel type' and can contain wildcards. flags are ignored. Example: bind need - "% op" needop < handles only need op bind need - "*" needall < handles all needs Module: irc (30) FLUD (stackable) bind flud procname Description: any floods detected through the flood control settings (like 'flood-ctcp') are sent here before processing. If the proc returns 1, no further action is taken on the flood; if the proc returns 0, the bot will do its normal "punishment" for the flood. The flood types are: pub, msg, join, or ctcp (and can be masked to "*" for the bind); flags are ignored. Module: server (31) NOTE bind note procname Description: incoming notes (either from the party line, someone on IRC, or someone on another bot on the botnet) are checked against these binds before being processed. If a bind exists, the bot will not deliver the note. The handle must be an exact match (no wildcards), but it is not case sensitive; flags are ignored. Module: core (32) ACT (stackable) bind act proc-name Description: when someone does an action on the botnet, it invokes this binding. flags are ignored; the mask is matched against the text of the action and can support wildcards. Module: core (33) WALL (stackable) bind wall proc-name Description: when the bot receives a wallops, it invokes this binding. flags are ignored; the mask is matched against the text of the wallops msg. Module: server (34) BCST (stackable) bind bcst proc-name Description: when a bot broadcasts something on the botnet (see 'dccbroadcast' above), it invokes this binding. flags are ignored; the mask is matched against the message text and can contain wildcards. Module: core (35) CHJN (stackable) bind chjn proc-name Description: when someone joins a botnet channel, it invokes this binding. The mask is matched against the channel and can contain wildcards. flag is one of: * (owner), + (master), @ (op), or % (botnet master). Module: core (36) CHPT (stackable) bind chpt proc-name Description: when someone parts a botnet channel, it invokes this binding. flags are ignored; the mask is matched against the channel and can contain wildcards. Module: core (37) TIME (stackable) bind time proc-name Description: allows you to schedule procedure calls at certain times. mask matches 5 space separated integers of the form: "minute hour day month year". minute, hour, day, month have a zero padding so they are exactly two characters long; year is extended to four characters in the same way. Module: core (38) AWAY (stackable) bind away proc-name Description: triggers when a user goes away or comes back on the botnet. text is the reason than has been specified (text is "" when returning). mask is matched against the botnet-nick of the bot the user is connected to and supports wildcards. flags are ignored. Module: core (39) LOAD (stackable) bind load proc-name Description: triggers when a module is loaded. mask is matched against the name of the loaded module and supports wildcards; flags are ignored. Module: core (40) UNLD (stackable) bind unld proc-name Description: triggers when a module is unloaded. mask is matched against the name of the unloaded module and supports wildcards; flags are ignored. Module: core (41) NKCH (stackable) bind nkch proc-name Description: triggered whenever a local user's handle is changed (in the userfile). mask is matched against the user's old handle and can contain wildcards; flags are ignored. Module: core (42) EVNT (stackable) bind evnt proc-name Description: triggered whenever one of these events happen. flags are ignored; valid events are: sighup - called on a kill -HUP sigterm - called on a kill -TERM sigill - called on a kill -ILL sigquit - called on a kill -QUIT save - called when the userfile is saved rehash - called just after a rehash prerehash - called just before a rehash prerestart - called just before a restart logfile - called when the logs are switched daily loaded - called when the bot is done loading connect-server - called just before we connect to an IRC server init-server - called when we actually get on our IRC server disconnect-server - called when we disconnect from our IRC server Module: core (43) LOST (stackable) bind lost proc-name Description: triggered when a DCC SEND transfer gets lost, such as when the connection is terminated before all data was successfully sent/received. This is typically caused by a user abort. Module: transfer (44) TOUT (stackable) bind tout proc-name Description: triggered when a DCC SEND transfer times out. This may either happen because the dcc connection was not accepted or because the data transfer stalled for some reason. Module: transfer (B) RETURN VALUES Several bindings pay attention to the value you return from the proc (using 'return '). Usually, they expect a 0 or 1, and returning an empty return is interpreted as a 0. Be aware if you omit the return statement, the result of the last Tcl command executed will be returned by the proc. This will not likely produce the results you intended (this is a "feature" of Tcl). Here's a list of the bindings that use the return value from procs they trigger: (1) MSG Return 1 to make the command get logged like so: (nick!user@host) !handle! command (2) DCC Return 1 to make the command get logged like so: #handle# command (3) FIL Return 1 to make the command get logged like so: #handle# files: command (4) PUB Return 1 to make the command get logged like so: <> !handle! command (5) CTCP Return 1 to ask the bot not to process the CTCP command on its own. Otherwise, it would send its own response to the CTCP (possibly an error message if it doesn't know how to deal with it). (6) FILT Return "" to indicate the text has been processed, and the bot should just ignore it. Otherwise, it will treat the text like any other. (7) FLUD Return 1 to ask the bot not to take action on the flood. Otherwise it will do its normal punishment. (8) RAW Return 1 to ask the bot not to process the server text. This can affect the bot's performance by causing it to miss things that it would normally act on -- you have been warned. (9) CHON Return 1 to ask the bot not to process the partyline join event. (10) CHOF Return 1 to ask the bot not to process the partyline part event. (11) WALL Return 1 to make the command get logged like so: !nick! msg *** CONTROL PROCEDURES *** Using the 'control' command, you can put a DCC connection (or outgoing TCP connection) in control of a script. All text received from the connection is sent to the proc you specify. All outgoing text should be sent with 'putdcc'. The control procedure is called with these parameters: procname This allows you to use the same proc for several connections. The idx will stay the same until the connection is dropped. After that, it will probably get reused for a later connection. To indicate that the connection has closed, your control procedure will be called with blank text (the input-text will be ""). This is the only time it will ever be called with "" as the text, and it is the last time your proc will be called for that connection. Don't call killdcc on the idx when text is blank, it will always fail with "invalid idx". If you want to hand control of your connection back to Eggdrop, your proc should return 1. Otherwise, return 0 to retain control. *** TCP CONNECTIONS *** Eggdrop allows you to make two types of TCP ("telnet") connections: outgoing and incoming. For an outgoing connection, you specify the remote host and port to connect to. For an incoming connection, you specify a port to listen on. All of the connections are *event driven*. This means that the bot will trigger your procs when something happens on the connection, and your proc is expected to return as soon as possible. Waiting in a proc for more input is a no-no. To initiate an outgoing connection, use: set idx [connect ] $idx now contains a new DCC entry for the outgoing connection. All connections use non-blocking (commonly called "asynchronous", which is a misnomer) I/O. Without going into a big song and dance about asynchronous I/O, what this means to you is: * assume the connection succeeded immediately * if the connection failed, an EOF will arrive for that idx The only time a 'connect' will return an error is if you give it a hostname that can't be resolved (this is considered a "DNS error"). Otherwise, it will appear to have succeeded. If the connection failed, you will immediately get an EOF. Right after doing a 'connect' call, you should set up a 'control' for the new idx (see the section above). From then on, the connection will act just like a normal DCC connection that has been put under the control of a script. If you ever return "1" from the control proc (indicating that you want control to return to Eggdrop), the bot will just close the connection and dispose of it. Other commands that work on normal DCC connections, like 'killdcc' and 'putdcc', will work on this idx, too. The 'killdcc' command will fail with "invalid idx" if you attempt to use it on a closed socket. To create a listen port, use: listen script Procs should be declared as: For example: listen 6687 script listen:grab proc listen:grab {newidx} { control $newidx listen:control } When a new connection arrives in port 6687, Eggdrop will create a new idx for the connection. That idx is sent to 'listen:grab'. The proc immediately puts this idx under control. Once 'listen:grab' has been called, the idx behaves exactly like an outgoing connection would. The best way to learn how to use these commands is to find a script that uses them and follow it carefully. However, hopefully this has given you a good start. *** MATCH CHARACTERS *** Many of the bindings allow match characters in the arguments. Here are the four special characters: ? matches any single character * matches 0 or more characters of any type % matches 0 or more non-space characters (can be used to match a single word) ~ matches 1 or more space characters (can be used for whitespace between words) _________________________________________________________________ Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Eggheads Development Team
