IRC Commands

Commands and text are typed in the same place. By default, commands begin with the "/" character. If you have a graphical client, like mIRC, many commands can be executed by clicking icons with the mouse pointer. It is, however, highly recommended that you learn to type in the basic IRC commands first. When entering commands, pay close attention to spacing and capitalization. The basic commands work on almost every client.

Some examples are given below. In these, suppose your nick is "yournick", and that you are on the channel #coolness .

Your friend "MaryN" is in #coolness with you, and your friend "Tomm" is on IRC but is not on a channel with you. You can apply these examples in general by substituting the relevant nick or channel names. Once on a channel, you can simply talk or just listen.

These are some commands which may be useful:

Command
Action
/join #coolness Joins specified channel
/who #coolness Gives info on uses in the channel
/ping #coolness Shows delay between you and channel users
hello everyone Everyone on the channel sees:
yournick> hello everyone
/me is happy Everyone in the channel sees:
* yournick is happy
/leave #coolness You leave the channel
/whois MaryN Shows information about the specified person
/nick newnick Changes your nick to specified nick
/msg Maryn hello Only MaryN sees the greeting
/ping Maryn Only MaryN sees the greeting
/help Shows help information
/quit comment Terminates the session with the server
