<p><strong>Users and Flags</strong></p>
</div>
<hr>
<p>People on IRC are recognized by the bot according to their
nick!user@host. That is, if I am on IRC as:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>*** Robey is robey@hubcap.clemson.edu (i hate milk)</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Eggdrop will identify me according to
"Robey!robey@hubcap.clemson.edu" and not only by my nickname.</p>
<p>then Eggdrop will identify me according to
"ikaney@uk.defiant.org" and not by my nickname. I can change
nicknames at will and it won't forget me.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<blockquote>
<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<p><strong>n (owner)</strong></p>
</td>
<td>
<p>user has absolute control. Only give this flag to people you
trust completely.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<p><strong>m (master)</strong></p>
</td>
<td>
<p>user has access to almost every feature of the bot.</p>
</td>

</blockquote>
<p>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:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>chattr <nickname> [attributes] [channel]</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>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.</p>
