- Synopsis:
- say <text>
-
- Description:
- This command sends the specified text to the current channel. It has
- numerous practical uses. Among others, it allows the user to send a
- message to a channel even if CMDCHARS is for some reason not set,
- or is COMMAND_MODE is on. It it also useful for allowing ALIASes,
- BINDs, scripts, and the like, to explicitly send a message to the
- current channel.
-
- Using the SAY command is functionally equivalent to using the
- command character with no command. Of course, the default is to send
- text to the current channel if no command character is specified at
- all.
-
- Examples:
- To send a message to the current channel:
- /say hello all!
-
- An alternate way to send a message:
- / hello all!
-
- To someone else on irc, your message will appear like this:
- <your_nick> hello all!
-
- To you, your message will appear like this:
- > hello all!
-
- See Also:
- msg(1); send(5); set(4) command_mode
-
- Restrictions:
- SAY cannot send a message to any channel other than the current
- one. You must switch channels with JOIN (or CHANNEL), or with
- whatever key is bound to SWITCH_CHANNELS. Otherwise, use MSG to send
- the message to a specific destination.
