putserv <text> [options]

Description: sends text to the server, like ‘.dump’ (intended for direct server commands); output is queued so that the bot won’t flood itself off the server.

cap <ls/values/req/enabled/raw> [arg]

Description: displays CAP status or sends a raw CAP command to the server. “ls” will list the capabilities Eggdrop is internally tracking as supported by the server. “values” will list all capabilities and their associated CAP 302 values (if any) as a key/value pair, and “values” with a capability name as arg will list the values associated for the capability. “enabled” will list the capabilities Eggdrop is internally tracking as negotiated with the server. “req” will request the capabilities listed in “arg” from the server. “raw” will send a raw CAP command to the server. The arg field is a single argument, and should be submitted as a single string. For example, to request capabilities foo and bar, you would use [cap req “foo bar”], and for example purposes, sending the same request as a raw command would be [cap raw “REQ :foo bar”].

PASS	<password> Password string (Empty value will clear the password)
BOTADDR	<address> [bot listen port] [user listen port] Sets address, bot listen port and user listen port. If no listen ports are specified, only the bot address is updated. If only the bot listen port is specified, both the bot and user listen ports are set to the bot listen port.
HOSTS	[hostmask] If no value is specified, all hosts for the user will be cleared. Otherwise, only 1 hostmask is added :P
LASTON	This setting has 3 forms. <unixtime> <place> sets global LASTON time. Standard values used by Eggdrop for <place> are partyline, linked, unlinked, filearea, <#channel>, and <@remotebotname>, but can be set to anything. <unixtime> sets global LASTON time (leaving the place field empty) <unixtime> <channel> sets a user’s LASTON time for a channel (if it is a valid channel)

You can now use the +o|-o #channel format here too.

A ‘+’ is used to check if a user has the subsequent flags, and a ‘-‘ is used to check if a user does NOT have the subsequent flags. Please see Flag Masks for additional information on flag usage.

Returns: 1 if the specified user has the flags matching the provided mask; 0 otherwise

channame2dname <channel-name>

chandname2name <channel-dname>

Description: these two functions are important to correctly support !channels. The bot differentiates between channel description names (chan dnames) and real channel names (chan names). The chan dnames are what you would normally call the channel, such as “!channel”. The chan names are what the IRC server uses to identify the channel. They consist of the chan dname prefixed with an ID; such as “!ABCDEchannel”.

For bot functions like isop, isvoice, etc. you need to know the chan dnames. If you communicate with the server, you usually get the chan name, though. That’s what you need the channame2dname function for.

If you only have the chan dname and want to directly send raw server commands, use the chandname2name command.

NOTE: For non-!channels, chan dname and chan name are the same.

Module: irc

Returns: 1 if someone by that nickname is on the channel (or any channel if no channel is specified) and has voice (+v); 0 otherwise

Module: irc

isidentified <nickname> [channel]

Description: determine if a user is identified to irc services. WARNING: this may not be accurate depending on the server and configuration. For accurate results, the server must support (and Eggdrop must have enabled via CAP) the account-notify and extended-join capabilities, and the server must understand WHOX requests (also known as raw 354 responses)

Returns: 1 if someone by the specified nickname is on the channel (or any channel if no channel name is specified) and is logged in); 0 otherwise.

Module: irc

isaway <nickname> [channel]

Description: determine if a user is marked as ‘away’ on a server. IMPORTANT: this command is only “mostly” reliable on its own when the IRCv3 away-notify capability is available and negotiated with the IRC server (if you didn’t add this to your config file, it likely isn’t enabled- you can confirm using the cap Tcl command). Additionally, there is no way for Eggdrop (or any client) to capture a user’s away status when the user first joins a channel (they are assumed present by Eggdrop on join). To use this command without the away-notify capability negotiated, or to get a user’s away status on join (via a JOIN bind), use refreshchan <channel> w on a channel the user is on, which will refresh the current away status stored by Eggdrop for all users on the channel.

Returns: 1 if Eggdrop is currently tracking someone by that nickname marked as ‘away’ (again, see disclaimer above) by an IRC server; 0 otherwise.

Module: irc

isircbot <nickname> [channel]

Description: determine if a user has denoted themselves as a bot via an ircd-defined user flag (declared via BOT in a server’s 005/ISUPPORT line). Due to server implementations, accurately monitoring this is incredibly fragile, as the flag can be added and removed by a user without any notification to other users. To ensure this status is current for use, it is recommended to use refreshchan <channel> w on a channel the user is on, which will refresh if the user is a bot or not for all users on the channel. If a server does not advertise BOT in its ISUPPORT line but still supports it (currently the case for unrealircd), you can manually set it by adding “BOT=B” (or whatever flag is used) to the isupport-default setting in your eggdrop.conf file.

Returns: 1 if Eggdrop is currently tracking someone by that nickname marked as a bot by an IRC server; 0 otherwise.

onchan <nickname> [channel]

Returns: 1 if someone by that nickname is on the specified channel (or any channel if none is specified); 0 otherwise

Module: irc

monitor <command> [nickname]

Description: interacts with the list of nicknames Eggdrop has asked the IRC server to track. valid commands are add, delete, list, online, offline, status, and clear. The ‘add’ command sends ‘nickname’ to the server to track. The ‘delete’ command removes ‘nickname’ from being tracked by the server (or returns an error if the nickname is not present). The ‘list’ command returns a list of all nicknames the IRC server is tracking on behalf of Eggdrop. The ‘online’ command returns a string of tracked nicknames that are currently online. The ‘offline’ command returns a list of tracked nicknames that are currently offline.

This checks if the extended-join and account-notify IRCv3 capabilities are currently enabled, and checks if the server supports WHOX (based on the type of server selected in the config file, or the use-354 variable being set to 1 when seleceting an “Other” server).

Returns: a ‘1’ if all three functionalities are present, a ‘0’ if one or more are missing.

Module: irc
