20 Tells you or the channel when I last saw that nick in
21 use. When the nick is next used, I'll tell them you asked.
25 Invites a logged-on user onto IRC. If the user is not logged on
26 you'll be told. Target users can change this (eg, to disable it)
27 by reconfiguring the userv service `irc-summon'. See ~ian/.userv.
30 convert <number> <unit>
31 Converts the specified quantity into SI units. Units that are
32 understood are any understood by units(1) and also
33 kelvin celsius fahrenheit (convert to celsius or kelvin)
37 ops <channel> (privately)
38 Asks me to give you channel operator privilege. You must be using
39 a secure nick and have identified yourself (see `help identify').
40 (Not yet implemented!)
43 oplist [<chan>] show chop list
44 oplist [<chan>] + <nick> <nick> ... add nicks to chop list
45 oplist [<chan>] - <nick> <nick> ... remove nicks from chop list
46 oplist [<chan>] = <nick> <nick> ... set chop list
47 Configures the list of who may use the `ops' command. You must be
48 on the oplist yourself to do this. If you op me on a channel I'll
49 automatically add you to the oplist if you have identified yourself.
50 (Not yet implemented!)
53 You must identify yourself to change your settings and to use channel
54 management commands. In ircII on chiark, just say `/blight-id'. For
55 other clients, see `help identpass'. Once you are identified you can
56 then register new nicks, change settings, etc. - so long as you
57 remain on a channel that I'm on too. (See also `help invite'.)
60 /blight-id is a command available in ircII (and possibly other
61 clients) on chiark. It sets up a password if you don't already have
62 one, and then uses it to identify you to Blight. If you want to
63 change your password, delete the file ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5.
66 identpass <username> <password>
67 Identification, for example with /blight-id, is actually done with
68 `identpass', which feeds the md5sum of the password to `userv
69 <username> irc-identpass <nick>'. That must exit 0 if all is well.
72 If you invite me to a channel I'll join it.
75 register register your nick (or make it secure)
76 register delete delete your nick registration
77 register insecure register your nick insecurely
78 I only store settings for registered nicks. For `insecure' nicks
79 anyone who currently holds that nick can change its settings,
80 including securing it to their username. `secure' nicks can only
81 have their settings changed by the user to which they are
82 registered, after identifying themselves (see `help identify').
85 set show your current settings
86 set <option> show the current setting of <option>
87 set <option> <value> set <option> to <value>
88 See also `help register' and `help ident'. See just `help' for the
89 list of options, and `help <option>' for info about that option.
92 set timeformat ks show times in seconds, kiloseconds, etc.
93 set timeformat hms use days, hours, minutes, seconds
