IRC Commands
These commands should work regardless of which client you use. This list is by no means comprehensive and additions are welcome.
Contents
/away
Syntax: /away [message] Example: /away I will be right back.
When combined with a message, notifies the server that you are away from your keyboard (AFK). This will make you temporarily invisible on the slashnet page. It will also send your away message to anyone who sends you a private message.
Some users have a script or alias that combines the /away command with the /nick command to let the channel know when they are stepping away, answering a phone call, etc. So that people know they are not just ignoring the channel.
/CTCP
Stands for Client-to-Client-Protocol
finger
blah blah
ping
blah blah
/me
Syntax: /me [action] Example: /me waves hi!
Performs an action on the channel.
/msg
Syntax: /msg [nickname] [message] Example: /msg funbunny2004 Did you get that e-mail I sent you?
Sends a message to a specific user only.
/nick
Syntax: /nick [nickname] Example: /nick bunnylover420
Changes your name in the channel. Handy for when you want to step away from the keyboard (e.g. /nick afk_bunny). Please try to limit the amount that you use this command.
