simple bind and user flags question

[octatone]

I could find a list of lettered flags, but I'm editing a script that has flags like the following:

Code: Select all

bind pub -|o !example do_something
bind pub -|- !example2 do_something2

Can someone kindly explain what the "-" flag means and what the "|" is doing here? Is it just a catch all to disable the bind?

Thanks in advance!

The dash (-) means you don't need any flag at all to match.
The pipe (|) means "OR", and is used to separate the global flags from the channel-specific flags. You could also use the ampersand (&) as "AND" to require both global and channel-specific flags.

[octatone]

which side of the pipe is channel and which side is global? and does one supersede the other?

(i just want to make sure I understand 100% before I go and editing operator commands attached to binds)

[nml375]

First one maches against the global flags, second against channel-specific flags. If you use the OR-separator, having one of them matching is enough; if you use the AND-operator on the other hand, you'll have to match them all.

Thanks so much for your help
