Usage

This example uses bot tokens for authentication only. While user/password is supported by DiscordGo, it is not recommended for bots.

./dm_pingpong --help
Usage of ./dm_pingpong:
  -t string
        Bot Token

The below example shows how to start the bot

./dm_pingpong -t YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
Bot is now running.  Press CTRL-C to exit.
