IRC::Log::Colabti - interface to IRC logs from colabti.org
use IRC::Log::Colabti; my $log = IRC::Log::Colabti.new($filename.IO); say "Logs from $log.date()"; .say for $log.entries.List; my $log = IRC::Log::Colabti.new($text, $date);
IRC::Log::Colabti provides an interface to the IRC logs that are available from colabti.org (raw format). Please see IRC::Log for more information.
my $merged = $log.merge($channel); # merge with Colabti archive of same date my $merged = $log.merge($slurped); # merge with another log file of same date my $merged = $log.merge($other-log); # merge with log object my $merged = $log.merge($path.IO); # merge with log file by IO::Path
The merge
instance method attempts to add entries from another log of the same date that are not present in the entries of the instance. This functionality is intended to fix "holes" in the logs caused by temporary outages of the various loggers.
It takes a single positional argument, which can either be:
the name of a channel: fetches content from Colabti's website
a string with the contents of a log file
another IRC::Log object
an IO::Path object of the log file to merge with
It either returns Nil
if no missing entries were found, or a freshly created object of the same type as the invocant.
When merging with Colabti's channel logs, it is possible to specify a :normalizer
argument to indicate code to normalize the logs obtained from Colabti. By default, this will be the same normalization as used by the IRC::Client::Plugin::Logger
module.
