- Synopsis:
- query [=]<nickname>
- query %<process id|process name>
-
- Description:
- Using the first form, QUERY starts a private conversation with the
- nicknames specified (more than one allowed, see MSG for syntax). All
- it really does is make the client send normal typed messages to the
- people specified instead of your current channel. QUERY will work
- over a DCC CHAT connection.
-
- The second form is similar to the first, but it lets you continuously
- communicate with a running EXECed process without the need for MSG
- (just like querying a person). Either the process id number, or the
- name assigned to the process (if any) may be used.
-
- Using QUERY with no arguments terminates the current QUERY, if any.
-
- Examples:
- To start a private conversation with your significant other:
- /query sweetypie
-
- To cancel a running query:
- /query
-
- See Also:
- msg(1); exec(5)
