- Synopsis:
- links [[<server>] <glob>]
-
- Description:
- LINKS is used to display the servers currently connected to the irc
- network. More precisely, it returns a list of the name each server
- calls itself. For example, a Finnish server might present itself as
- *.fi instead of its full server name (for a variety of reasons which
- aren't really important here).
-
- If a server name is omitted, the client's current server is used.
- If a glob pattern is omitted, all servers are listed.
-
- Examples:
- To list all servers in Australia:
- /links *.au
-
- To query all hostmasked Australian servers for a server with a machine
- name of "foobar":
- /links *.au foobar.*
-
- See Also:
- load(5) tls
-
- Other Notes:
- Servers using "dog3/super" patched code may disallow use of the LINKS
- command from time to time. Such servers have a "high traffic mode",
- in which certain commands are disabled to conserve server resources.
- A 263 numeric will be returned if LINKS is unavailable.
-
- Some servers are now disallowing LINKS entirely, or limiting its use
- to irc operators (sometimes local operators only), as it is easily
- abused by "link lookers" and the like.
