NAME

IRC::Log::Colabti - interface to IRC logs from colabti.org

SYNOPSIS

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);

DESCRIPTION

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.

ADDITIONAL METHODS

merge

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.
