.. _plugin-NickCapture:

NickCapture
===========

Purpose
-------

This module attempts to capture the bot's nick, watching for an opportunity to
switch to that nick.

Usage
-----

This plugin constantly tries to take whatever nick is configured as
supybot.nick.  Just make sure that's set appropriately, and thus plugin
will do the rest.
