** LISTAR HELP FILE - First draft by Jeremy Blackman **
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
This is an extremely preliminary helpfile. Listar is still not a
|
|
release system by ANY means. This also doesn't go into all the nifty
|
|
things admins can do or whatnot.
|
|
|
|
MESSAGE FORMAT:
|
|
Messages sent to Listar will have the subject parsed (to check for
|
|
any valid subject commands, such as subscribe or unsubscribe).
|
|
Then the body itself will be parsed, until it reaches the end of
|
|
the message or an 'end' command. (Use the 'end' command if your
|
|
provider automatically tacks a signature or advertisement onto the
|
|
end of your e-mail.) Commands are given one-per-line.
|
|
|
|
Listar will say that some commands have 'changed the list context'.
|
|
Listar remembers what list you were last talking about, and if you
|
|
don't provide a list for the next command, it will assume you are
|
|
referring to the same list as before.
|
|
|
|
SUBSCRIBING:
|
|
To subscribe to a list, you can send e-mail to the listar account with
|
|
'subscribe <listname>' in the message body. Alternatively, most sites
|
|
will have the <listname>-request system set up, where you can mail
|
|
'<listname>-request' at the site and simply put 'subscribe' in the
|
|
message body.
|
|
|
|
UNSUBSCRIBING:
|
|
This is done in the same way as subscribing, only with 'unsubscribe'
|
|
instead of 'subscribe'. :)
|
|
|
|
CHECKING LIST SUBSCRIBERS:
|
|
The 'who [<listname>]' command will return a list of subscribers for
|
|
a given list (or if the list is omitted, the current contextual list).
|
|
If a list is set so that only list members can view membership and you
|
|
are not a list member, you will not be permitted to view the roster.
|
|
|
|
Admins will see everyone on the list, others will only see people who
|
|
have not set the 'HIDDEN' flag on themselves.
|
|
|
|
SETTING/UNSETTING FLAGS:
|
|
'set [<listname>] <flag>' or 'unset [<listname>] <flag>' sets or
|
|
unsets a given Listar flag. As Listar plugins can define their own
|
|
new sets of flags, to get a list of the currently available flags on
|
|
a Listar server, send the command 'flags'.
|
|
|
|
CHECKING YOUR OWN STATUS:
|
|
'stats [<listname>]' will return what flags you currently have set.
|
|
|
|
RETRIEVING A LIST OF LISTS:
|
|
'lists' will return a list of what is available from this Listar server.
|
|
|
|
RETRIEVING A LIST OF COMMANDS:
|
|
'commands' will list what commands are currently available (not counting
|
|
admin commands). They don't provide information on what parameters
|
|
they take, as the list is built from Listar's internal command table.
|
|
This is useful, however, for seeing what commands various plugins might
|
|
add; Listar has a plug-in architecture so new commands and flags can
|
|
be added by new modules.
|
|
|
|
Yeah, that's REALLY basic, but... I know I need to write a more advanced
|
|
manual. That should be enough to get by, though. :)
|
