/whois nick -Shows you information about the nickname
/topic new topic -Changes the topic (if allowed)
/list -Updates the room list
/quit -Leave chat and disconnect from the server
/cs register channelname password description
/cs set #channelname founder kaptainsteve
/ns register password email
/ns identify password - do this everytime you log on.
Note: Hit enter after each command.
/away
- When you're called away to put out a grease fire
in the kitchen, issue this command to let others know
you're still connected but just away from your terminal
or computer for awhile.
/help
- Brings up a list of commands for which there is a help
file. You will get a "topic:" prompt. Type in the
subject for which you want information and hit enter.
Hit enter by itself to exit help.
/invite
- Asks another IRC to join you in a conversation.
/invite fleepo #hottub
- would send a message to fleepo asking him to join you on
the #hottub channel. The channel name is optional.
/join
- Use this to switch to or create a particular channel,
like this: `/join #hottub'
If one of these channels exists and is not a private
one, you will enter it. Otherwise, you have just
created it. Note you have to use a `#' as the first
character.
/list
- This will give you a list of all available public
channels, their topics (if any) and the number of users
currently on them. Hidden and private channels are not
shown.
/m name
- Send a private message to that user.
/mode
- This lets you determine who can join a channel you've
created.
/mode #channel +s
- creates a secret channel.
/mode #channel +p
- makes the channel private
/nick
- This lets you change the name by which others see you.
`/nick fleepo'
would change your name for the present session to
fleepo. People can still use /whois to find your e-mail
address. If you try to enter a channel where somebody
else is already using that nickname, IRC will ask you to
select another name.
/query
- This sets up a private conversation between you and
another IRC user. To do this, type
`/query nickname'
Every message you type after that will go only to that
person. If she then types
`/query nickname'
where nickname is yours, then you have established a
private conversation. To exit this mode, type
`/query'
by itself. While in query mode, you and the other
person can continue to "listen" to the discussion on
whatever public channels you were on, although neither
of you will be able to respond to any of the messages
there.
/quit
- Exit IRC.
/signoff
- Exit IRC.
/summon
- Asks somebody connected to a host system with IRC to
join you on IRC. You must use the person's entire e-mail
address.
`/summon fleepo@foo.bar.com'
would send a message to fleepo asking him to start IRC.
Usually not a good idea to just summon people unless you
know they're already amenable to the idea; otherwise you
may wind up annoying them no end. This command does not
work on all sites.
/topic
- When you've started a new channel, use this command to let
others know what it's about.
`/topic #Amiga'
would tell people who use /list that your channel is meant
for discussing Amiga computers.
/who <chan>
- Shows you the e-mail address of people on a particular
channel.
`/who #foo'
would show you the addresses of everybody on channel foo.
`/who'
by itself shows you every e-mail address for every person
on IRC at the time, although be careful: on a busy night
you might get a list of 500 names!
/whois
- Use this to get some information about a specific IRC
user or to see who is online.
`/whois nickname'
will give you the e-mail address for the person using
that nickname.
`/whois *'
will list everybody on every channel.
/whowas
- Similar to `/whois'; gives information for people who
recently signed off IRC.
