- Synopsis:
- load imap
-
- Description:
- This script is designed to present the user with a topological view of
- the current irc network, from the perspective of any server on the
- network. It contains 2 (two) commands that may be called directly:
-
- Command Description
- /gomap [<serv>] displays the current server map; if a server name
- | is given, the script will attempt to show the map
- | from that server's perspective, else the current
- | is assumed
- /initmap [<serv>] initialized the map database; the output may be
- | limited to a set of servers if one or more server
- | masks are supplied (as with LINKS)
-
- See Also:
- links(2); load(5); map(2)
-
- Restrictions:
- The script does not know how to deal with server masks gracefully (as it
- only relies on LINKS output). The result is that the map may not be
- complete.
-
- Other Notes:
- Undernet, and networks using ircu-based server code, provides a builtin
- MAP command, which does essentially the same thing as this script, only
- orders of magnitude faster, and is more accurate.
-
- This script was written by Ian Frechette (Daemon), with inspiration from
- Carlo Kid (Run).
