ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server http://ngircd.barton.de/ (c)2001-2013 Alexander Barton and Contributors. ngIRCd is free software and published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. -- Commands.txt -- This file lists all commands available on ngIRCd. It is written in a format that is human readable as well as machine parseable and therefore can be used as "help text file" of the daemon. In short, the HELP command parses this file as following when a user user issues a "HELP " command: 1. Search the file for a line "- ", 2. Output all subsequent lines that start with a TAB (ASCII 9) character to the client using NOTICE commands, treat lines containing a single "." after the TAB as empty lines. 3. Break at the first line not starting with a TAB character. This format allows to have information to each command stored in this file which will not be sent to an IRC user requesting help which enables us to have additional annotations stored here which further describe the origin, implementation details, or limits of the specific command. A special "Intro" block is returned to the user when the HELP command is used without a command name: - Intro This is ngIRCd, a server software for Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks.
