mIRC commands simplified

January 28, 2007

These are some of the must have commands list if one is on IRC server. For my reference purpose, i think posting this here would be great help for me if i have to refer to any commands.
———————–

All you have to do is connect to the IRC network and register your current nickname by typing:

/msg NickServ register [password]

Be sure to specify a password. When you next connect to the IRC network, you can identify yourself to NickServ by typing:

/msg NickServ identify [password]

NickServ will now recognize who you are. Once you are registered with NickServ, you can do all sorts of other useful tasks, such as kicking off people who have stolen your nickname. To find out what else NickServ supports, simply type the following:

/msg NickServ help
3. Register a channel with ChanServ.

If you want to create your own channel for discussing a particular topic, you will want to register this channel with ChanServ. This lets you keep control over who can access the channel and what rights other people can have on it. Simply create your channel by joining it:


    /join #MyChannel

First, make sure you are identified with NickServ; you then can proceed with registering your channel:
    /msg ChanServ register #MyChannel [password]

You are now the owner of this channel and can control every aspect of it. For a full list of the commands supported by ChanServ, type:
    /msg ChanServ help

4. Save your fingers.
———-

/who #channel =>shows all the nick present in channel except invisible

/msg BitterBot login Bittertruth 12345678
/msg chanserv sop #guff add devil_may_cry ==> this gives permanent OP to devil_may_cry in channel #guff
ADMIN
This command can be used to find out who is an administrator on the IRC network. This is helpful when you run into problems, and need to find an IRC Operator to help you. You can either use the server name to find the administrators on a specific server, or the command by itself to find all administrators.

Format: /admin [server]

Example: /admin irc1.ianstorm.com

AWAY
This command is used to send an automatic response to anyone that sends a message to you.

Format: /away [message]

Example: /away I am away from my computer

To turn the away message off, just type the command again with no message. Example: /away

INFO
Use this command to get information about the server you are connected to.

Format: /info
——————————————————————————–
INVITE
This command will invite a user into the channel you are in.

Format: /invite [nickname] [channelname]

Example: /invite Ian #MyChannel

KICK
This command will kick the specified user out of your channel.

Format: /kick [channelname] [nickname] [reason]

Example: /kick #MyChannel Ian Abusive User
LIST
This command will list all of the channels currently open on the network. This command will not work in the java client.

Format: /list
——————————————————————————–
ME
Use this command to emote an action.

Format: /me [action]

Example: /me waves
——————————————————————————–
MSG
This command will send a private message to another user.

Format: /msg [nickname] [message]

Example: /msg Ian How are you?

WHOIS
Use this command to find out information about a specific user.

Format: /whois [nickname]

Example: /whois Ian
 
NickServ Commands (Nickname registration)
ACCESS
Use this option to find out what level of access a user has in a channel.

Format: /chanserv access [channelname] [nickname]

Example: /chanserv access #MyChannel Ian

User levels are as follows:

7 Identified as founder of the room by the room’s password.
6 Identified to the founder’s nick.
5 Matches an entry in the access list of the founder’s nick.
4 SOP
3 AOP
2 VOP
1 UOP
——————————————————————————–
SOP/AOP/VOP/UOP
Use these commands to manage the op list in the channel. SOP Stands for “Super-Operator”, AOP stands for “Auto-Operator”, VOP stands for “Voice Operator” and UOP stands for “User Operator”.

SOP – Super-Operators may add users to the Auto-kick list in a channel, and use all of the normal channel commands. They can also modify the AOP, VOP, and UOP lists. Only a channel founder may add someone to the SOP list. SOPs should be chosen very carefully since they manage all of the other staff in the room. A room will generally not require a large SOP list. Most of the people who will actually be looking after the room can be AOPs.

AOP – Auto-Operators have the ability to kick and ban users, as well as temporarily voice or de-voice someone. They can also give temporary op status to other users in the channel, unless Opguard is on (see set, below).

VOP – Voice-Operators are typically used only in a “moderated” channel. Only users with VOP status or higher will be able to speak in a moderated channel.

UOP – User-Operator is the default level given to all users when they enter a channel. The user will not have voice in a moderated channel, but they are allowed to enter the channel in restricted mode.

There is a limit of 250 users that can be added to each list..

Usage
There are four parts to these commands.

Format: /chanserv [sop|aop|vop|uop] [channelname] [add|del|list|wipe] [nickname]

Add – Adds a user to the AOP list. Example: /chanserv aop #MyChannel add Ian

Del – Deletes a user from the AOP list. Example: /chanserv vop #MyChannel del Ian

List – Lists all of the users with AOP access to a channel. Example: /chanserv uop #MyChannel list

Wipe – Wpes all of the entries from the AOP List. Example: /chanserv sop #MyChannel wipe

All ops should be added by nickname. Users will need to register their nickname before they can be added to the AOP list.
——————————————————————————–
DROP
Use this command to drop the registration of a channel. Only the founder may drop the registration, and only after identifying with the channel password.

Format: /chanserv drop [channelname]

Example: /chanserv drop #MyChannel

——————————————————————————–
REGISTER
This command is used to register a channel. To register a channel, you must first join the channel you want to register. You must be the first person in the channel at the time you want to register it. Once you have registered a channel, it is your responsibility to keep up with the password. Channels must be registered to set permanent OP levels.

Format: /chanserv register [channelname] [password] [description]

Example: /chanserv regsiter #MyChannel stormpass General Discussion
——————————————————————————–
SET
This command allows you to change settings for a channel. You need to be identified with the channel’s password to change any of these settings (see identify, above). There are several parts to this command.
