DESCRIPTION

Bot::Cobalt is a pluggable IRC bot framework coupled with a core set of plugins vaguely replicating classic darkbot and cobalt1 behavior (and a great deal more).

This is the core frontend; it uses .cobalt2rc files to find the relevant configuration & data directories to start a particular Cobalt instance.

See cobalt2-installer for more on getting started. The installer can set up directories and example configuration files for a fresh instance.

See "SYNOPSIS" for usage information.

See http://www.cobaltirc.org/dev/bots for more information on Cobalt and the complete documentation.
