Page 4 of 6 4. Common IRC Commands
What you see in bold is what you want to change in order to perform the command you want. After every command, i will provide an example of that command. Also, when i use the semicolon, ;,it means that i'm just noting something out for you and it is not actually a command. When i use the pound, #, I am saying what the command does.
/server hostaddress port
/server irc.worldusers.net 6667
# Connects you to an irc server and that server port which you will chat on.
; You must connect to a server to chat.
/join #channel
/join #hackers
# Joins a channel that you will chat on.
; All channels must have # in front of them.
/nick nick
/nick CrazyGuy
# You are known by your nick, when people chat to you, they will call
# you CrazyGuy, or whatever you assign your nick as.
/invite #channel nick
/invite #hacking CrazyGuy
# This command invites CrazyGuy to the channel #hacking.
/dns nick
/dns CrazyGuy
# This command will perform a dns on the targeted user.
/disconnect
# Disconnects you from the server you are currently on.
/msg nick message
/msg CrazyGuy Hey, what's up
# This will message crazy in a query box "Hey, what's up"
/query nick
/query CrazyGuy
# This will bring up a window to where you can chat with CrazyGuy only.
/whois nick
/whois CrazyGuy
# When you do the whois command, it gives you information about the
# person you are whoising. Such as the modes he is using (if he
# has +o, that means he is an ircop (i will talk about ircops later, but they
# basically control the irc server you are using)). It tells you what
# irc server he is using on the irc network you are on. It gives
# you his host-name, and a few other things.
/me action
/me looks around
# This command is just for fun... the example output would be... CrazyGuy
# looks around.
/lusers
# Tells you how many users are on the network, the server, and how many
# ircops are on the server.
/motd
# Motd means "Message Of The Day.
# Server administrators (the people who actually RUN the server) sets
# the motd. To view it, you use the /motd command. The motd just
# tells you about the server... tells you the name of the network
# maybe even the version of the server is running
; IRCD means Irc daemon. All networks run irc daemons which allows
; you to chat to other people on the network.
/mode #channel mode
/mode #hackers +S
# To set channel modes, you must be an operator in the channel.
# By other words, you must have a @ by your nick (if you are using
# mirc, all you have to do is look to the left of the screen and
# see the nicks and the symbols by them). Halfop (which is only
# used on some servers (for example irc.dugnet.net)) can also
# set some channel modes. They can change the topic in the
# channel, they can change the number of users the channel
# can hold and much more.
Some channel modes :
/mode #channel +o nick
# This mode gives a user operator status (op).
# An operator has full control of the channel.
/mode #channel +v nick
# This mode gives a user voice. When a channel operator sets a channel
# as +m (moderated) then users cannot talk unless they have voice,
# half op, or op. Channels are usually not set to +m so voice usually
# just means "yer cool".
/mode #channel -o nick
# Takes the persons op away (deop)
/mode #channel -v nick
# Takes the persons voice away
/topic #channel topic # This command can only be used by hop and op... It just changes the
# topic of the chan that you are op in.
/mode #channel +S # This mode sets the channel as colorless, another words, no one
# can use colours in the channel you are in.
/mode #channel +i # This mode makes it to where you have to invite someone so they
# can enter your channel.
