- ISON
- ISON <nicknames>
+ ISON <nickname> [<nickname> [...]]
.
- Queries the server to see if the clients in the space-separated list
- <nicknames> are currently on the network.
- .
- The server returns only the <nicknames> that are on the network in a
- space-separated list. If none of the clients are on the network the
- server returns an empty list.
+ Query online status of a list of nicknames. The server replies with
+ a list only containing nicknes actually connected to a server in
+ the network. If no nicknames of the given list are online, an empty
+ list is returned to the client requesting the information.
+
+ Please note that "all" IRC daemons even parse separate nicknames in
+ a single parameter (like ":nick1 nick2"), and therefore ngIRCd
+ implements this behaviour, too.
