Boris Commands

Boris accepts some special commands so you can slightly modify parts of its behavior or get information about its current status.

Note that knowing those commands is absolutely not required !
If you are bored or lazy, you can skip this page :)

Every detailed commands here must be immediately prefixed by a ! character to be understood by Boris.
For example, here the line you must type to use the "version" command :

!version

!list command

Outputs currently available commands.

!debug command

Debug mode can be turned ON or OFF.
This will simply make every answers be prefixed by the total time (in milliseconds) Boris took to handle your request from the moment he received it.

!rank command

Outputs your current chat rank with Boris :)

!uptime command

Outputs the running time of the Boris service.

!version command

Outputs the current revision of Boris.

!angle command

This command is dedicated to the Math Parser feature.
To be user-friendly, Boris' default angle unit is DEG (degrees).

The !angle command takes one of the following parameters (case insensitive) :

• DEG : change the angle unit to "degree"
• RAD : change the angle unit to "radian"
• GRAD : change the angle unit to "gradian"

Example to change the angle unit to "radian" :

!angle rad

NOTICE : For your convenience, Boris will remember this setting for you by associating it to your IM login so you will not have to reset angle unit again the next time you use the calculator (even if its several days later).
