====== IRC commands 1 ======

===== Introduction =====

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is the most extensive and best chat protocol available on this planet. However, this also means that it is not easy to use. You can not only send text to the channel, but also commands.

===== Commands =====

Commands always begin with a / (e.g. /nick mouse).
I will list the most important basic commands:

^ Syntax ^ Designation ^ Command ^
| LIST | Lists all channels on the server | /list |
| JOIN | Enter channel | /join #channel |
| PART | Leave channel | /part #channel |
| QUIT | Leave IRC | /quit |
| NICK | change nick | /nick Bla |
| AWAY | marks you as not present | /away reason |
| WHOIS | Show user info | /whois nick |
| INVITE | Invite user to a channel | /invite user #channel |
| KICK | Kick user from channel (OPs only) | /kick #channel user Reason |
| TOPIC | Change topic of channel | /topic #channel New topic |
| QUERY |  Chat privately with a user | /query user |


These are the basic commands. There are a lot more but these are important as a basis.

Some commands can be given parameters:


^ Syntax ^ Name ^ Command ^
| SERVER | connect to a server | /server irc.baccano.de |
| NEW SERVER | open new window with new server | /server -m irc.baccano.de |
