- Synopsis:
- whowas [<nickname> [<count>]]
-
- Description:
- This command is similar to WHOIS, except it returns information about
- nicknames that were recently in use. Like WHOIS, it shows the nickname,
- address, real name, and server. It may also return multiple entries if
- the nickname has been used recently by several people. These multiples
- may be limited by specifying a count to show. A default for this
- number may also be set with NUM_OF_WHOWAS.
-
- WHOWAS will work regardless of whether the queried nick is in use. If
- no arguments are given, the client's current nickname is used.
-
- Examples:
- To show the last 5 users of the nickname JoeBob:
- /whowas joebob 5
-

- set(4) num_of_whowas; whois(2)
