- Synopsis:
- $ischannel(<channel name>)
-
- Technical:
- This function checks whether the input channel name is a valid channel
- name. It does NOT check whether the channel actually exists, only that
- the name would be legal to use as a channel name.
-
- Practical:
- This function compares the given channel name against the known server
- rules for channel names to determine if the server is likely to allow
- a channel with such a name. Contrary to common belief, it does not
- check for the existence of a channel.
-
- Returns:
- "true" value if channel name is legal, "false" otherwise
-
- Examples:
- $ischannel(#blah) returns true
- $ischannel(&blah) returns true
- $ischannel(blah) returns false
-

- join(1)
-
- Bugs:
- This function does not take ircd 2.9's modeless channels (prefixed with
- a '+') into account when determining the legality of a channel name.
