- Synopsis:
- load guh
-
- Description:
- This script consists of a trio of functions, primarily aimed at fetching
- information about other clients. Each relies on a server query, so they
- may not return the requested information immediately.
-
- The first is $whatchan(). It takes a single nickname as its argument,
- and uses WHOIS to try to return a list of channels that nickname is on.
-
- The second is $is_on(). It also takes a single nickname as its argument.
- If the nickname is currently on irc, it returns that nickname; it returns
- nothing if it is not in use.
-
- The last is $uh(). It takes an arbitrary number of nicknames as its
- arguments, and uses them as the input arguments for a USERHOST call. It
- returns the output from USERHOST, usually a list of addresses, one per
- nickname.
