QwIRC - online manual

7. Commands 7a. standard IRC commands QwIRC supports by default all standard IRC commands. any line of text beginning with a / (forward slash) character is sent to the server as raw text, allowing the server to interpret it as a raw command, similar on other clients to using the /quote command. use of /quote is not required (or supported) on QwIRC. similarly, all text typed into the console window are sent directly to the server as raw text. in this case the preceding / (forward slash) is not required. this method allows QwIRC to easily support non-standard IRC server commands such as DALnet's /chanserv and /nickserv commands. there is a small handful of commands which are intercepted and processed or translated by the client before being sent to the sever. they are listed below under 'built-in commands' 7b. built-in commands /clear internal command. not sent to server. clear the contents of the active window /me <action-text> translated to: CTCP <target> : ACTION <text> where /msg <target> <text> translated to: PRIVMSG <target> :<text> this is the standard method of sending message text. /omsg <target> <text> translated to: NOTICE <@target> :<text> <target> must be a channel. the specified message will only be sent to channel operators on the specified channel. /notice <target> <text> translated to: NOTICE <target> :<text> this is the standard method of sending notice text. /onotice <target> <text> translated to: NOTICE <@target> :<text> <target> must be a channel. the specified notice text will only be sent to channel operators on the specified channel. /ctcp <target> <command> [<options...>] translated to: PRIVMSG <target> :< text [options...] > this is the standard method of sending ctcp commands. /ctcpreply <target> <command> <reply-text> translated to: NOTICE <target> :< text [options...] > this is the standard method of sending ctcp replies. /send <target> <["][filepath/]file.ext["]> translated to: PRIVMSG <target> : DCC SEND <["][filepath/]file.ext["]> this is the standard method of initiating a DCC transfer. double-quotes required only when specifying a filespec that contains spaces. /whois [<target>] translated to: WHOIS <target> <target> is optional, and may be either a channel name or user nick. if <target> is not specified, the currently active window will be whois'ed. /ping [<target>] translated to: PRIVMSG <target> : PING <TIMESTAMP> <target> is optional, and may be either a channel name or user nick. if <target> is not specified, the currently active window will be pinged. /ignore ? internal command. not sent to server. displays a list of currently ignored nicks /ignore <nick> internal command. not sent to server. adds or removes the specified <nick> from the ignore list. /alert [auto|off|on|list] internal command. not sent to server. controls autoalert feature. autoalert causes channel and private message icons to flash and beep icq-style when new messages arrive. auto alert can be customised to alert for all users excluding specified users, alert for only specified users, or alert for all users. alert can also be set to flash for incoming text on a specified channel. /alert list internal command. not sent to server. displays the autoalert list to the currently active window /alert auto internal command. not sent to server. autoalert on for all incoming private messages, and channel windows specified in the autoalert list preceded with a plus sign, and excluding users on the autoalert list preceded with a minus sign. /alert on internal command. not sent to server. autoalert is on for all incoming private messages /alert off internal command. not sent to server. autoalert is off /trace 0|1|2 internal command. not sent to server. 0 - trace is off 1 - display to the console window the raw text of all outgoing messages sent to server to console window 2 - display to the console window the raw text of all incoming messages received from server 3 - display to the console window the raw text of all incoming and outgoing messages received from or sent to the server /quit internal command. not sent to server. quits qwIRC |
