- Usage: MSG <nicknames>|<channel>|%<pid>|=<nick>|@<user>|<n>|<command> <text>
- Sends a private message to the nicknames or list of nicknames
- specified. A list of nicknames should by separated by commas
- (no spaces). Three special case nicknames are defined. If the
- nickname is "," (a comma), the message is sent to the last
- person who sent you a MSG. If the nickname is "." (a
- period), the message is sent to the last person to whom you
- sent a message. If the nickname is "*" the message is send to
- the current channel.
-
- The second form allows you to specify a channel name to which
- to send the message. The message will go to everyone on that
- channel.
-
- The third form specifies an EXEC process id to send output to.
-
- The fourth form allows you to specify a DCC CHAT connection over
- which to send the message. The nick specifies the nickname under
- which the connection was established.
-
- The fifth form allows you to specify a DCC TALK connection over
- which to send the message. The user specifies the user part of
- the user@host used to establish the DCC TALK connection.
-
- The sixth form lets you specify a process number to which the
- message will go, where n is the process number. This works
- just like the EXEC -IN command. For example:
- MSG %1 Homina homina homina
- will send the text to process 1. Process 1 must be running
- already using a previous call to EXEC.
-
- The last form allows messages of the type MSG COMMAND <message>
- which allows you to send a message to some command. Try MSG /ECHO blue
- This is meant to be used with QUERY primarily.
-
- * There is also a use of wildcards for operators.
- * MSG $*.edu
- * will address all users having .edu in their serverinfo.
- * MSG #*.edu
- * will address all users having .edu at the end of their host name.
