- Synopsis:
- notify [[-]<nickname> [[-]<nickname> ...]]
- notify <+|->
-
- Description:
- The NOTIFY command lets you specify a list of nicknames to watch for,
- and will notify you any time a specified nickname signs on or signs off
- IRC. A "signoff" message will be generated if the person changes his
- or her nickname, so keep this in mind.
-
- Options:
- - When used alone, this will clear your notify list. When used with
- a nickname, it will remove that nick from the list.
- + This will display any nicks on your notify list who are signed on.
-
- Examples:
- To add your friends scuba and diver to your notify list:
- /notify scuba diver
-
- To remove your ex-friend buddha from your notify list:
- /notify -buddha
-
- To clear your notify list:
- /notify -
-
- To show your friends that are current logged on irc:
- /notify +
-

- ison(2); notify(6); set(4) notify_handler
-
- Restrictions:
- Everyone asks, so here's a formal answer before you ask. No, you cannot
- specify a nick!user@host mask to notify, nor can you specify wildcards.
- NOTE allows for this functionality, but not all servers enable it.
-
- Bugs:
- If you redefine the numeric 303 hook, be careful! NOTIFY absolutely
- depends on this numeric, and redefining the default behavior will
- probably trash your NOTIFY output.
