How To Use createBoard() Function?

[motumbo]

Does anyone have any guidance or advice on how I can use the createBoard() function in Subs-Boards.php to create a bunch of boards automatically?

I am using my forum as a sort of informational/review resource in addition to just a forum because it would take me forever to write something that SMF can do very nicely.  So I have a large number of boards to add.  It was suggested to me that I may be able to write a script to take some existing data (board names) and call the createBoard() function to create the boards.

I have no idea how to do this.  I'm not even sure what arguments the createBoard() function takes, what global associative array values need to be set, what db_insert_id() is (or where it is), or any of that.

Anyone have any pointers that can get me started in the right direction?  Maybe I can write queries to do this instead of PHP script? 

Documentation for this kind of stuff just doesn't exist, I'm afraid.  Thanks.
