# NAME

OzDB - database interface module for OzBot

# SYNOPSIS

use OzDB;

# DESCRIPTION

The OzDB Perl module handles authentication and access control for the OzBot based utility bots. The basic database format is the authentication schema. This is based on a numerical ordering authentication system. If the user's Authentication level is higher than that of the command's authentication level then the user is authenticated for the command and the command's special arguments will be returned to the function. This is useful for BACKEND authentication only, where the usernames are entered by an already physically or password authorized connection. This is for information purposes, and is not to be used as an actual database such as MySQL or PgSQL. This is written to faciliate developers with rudimentary information storage and any protected information, including passwords, should not be stored in this database. It is simply a method to allow applications to store and retrieve data in an arbitrary and extensible format with special delimiters.

## EXPORT
