2. Tcl commands

1. Config file settings

Lines in bold are the lines that need to be included in the eggdrop config file if you want to use the share module.

2. Tcl commands:

compresstofile <src-file> <target-file> <mode>

Compress src-file to target-file by using a compression mode from 0 (least CPU usage, least compression) upto 9 (maximal CPU usage, maximal compression).

uncompresstofile <src-file> <target-file>

Uncompress src-file to target-file.
