+ .. method:: is_robot([$key = NULL])
-.. note:: The user agent library only contains the most common robot
- definitions. It is not a complete list of bots. There are hundreds of
- them so searching for each one would not be very efficient. If you find
- that some bots that commonly visit your site are missing from the list
- you can add them to your application/config/user_agents.php file.

- if ($this->agent->is_referral())
- {
- echo $this->agent->referrer();
- }
+ .. method:: robot()
-$this->agent->agent_string()
-=============================
