CMaster Command List
Updated: May 8, 2002
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
* Parameters enclosed in <>'s are mandatory.
* Parameters enclosed in []'s are optional.
* x|y means x or y.
* refers to a person's IRC nickname that they are online with.
* refers to a person's username as it appears in the userlist; not to be confused
with . For more information about usernames and how to determine a person's username,
refer to the VERIFY and INFO commands (level 0).
* All commands shown with the field can also work by specifying a user's IRC nickname
that they are online with by preceding their nickname with an equal (=) sign.
For example, consider a person with the nickname ^[Test]^ and username Test. The ACCESS
command can be performed on this user in either of these 2 methods:
1. /msg x access <#channel> Test
or
2. /msg x access <#channel> =^[Test]^
The 1st method directly queries X as to whether or not the username "Test" is in the userlist.
The 2nd method makes X lookup ^[Test]^'s username if they are authenticated, which refer's to
their username of "Test."
This can be performed with any command that requires a , but will only work if the
user is authenticated, otherwise a "No Match" reply or equivalent will be returned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 500 Commands : Channel Manager
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART - Makes X leave your channel.
/msg x part <#channel>
SET - Changes special X modes for channel.
/msg x set <#channel>
* Variables and Values:
AUTOJOIN - When the flag is set ON, it makes X always join your channel. When the flag is
OFF, it will make it part if it's on the channel, and not re-join after a netsplit.
/msg x set <#channel> autojoin
MASSDEOPPRO - The maximum number of deops X will allow in a 15 sec period. Any user
exceeding this will be kicked, suspended (if on the userlist) and a level 25 ban placed on
them to prevent ops. The suspend and ban time is 5 minutes. When setting the MASSDEOPPRO,
value can be set from 1, which is the most sensitive, to 7, which is least sensitive. A value
of 0 turns off the option.
/msg x set <#channel> massdeoppro <0-7>
NOOP - This means that nobody may be a channel operator except X. This does not mean you
don't have control of X or the channel. If you are authenticated, you can issue commands
like KICK, BAN, etc. through X, you just can't be opped yourself.
/msg x set <#channel> noop
STRICTOP - This allows only Level 100+ users who are authenticated to be opped.
/msg x set <#channel> strictop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVELS 450-499 : Trusted Channel Admin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SET - Changes special X modes for channel.
/msg x set <#channel>
* Variables and Values:
AUTOTOPIC - This flag makes X reset the topic to the channel DESCRIPTION and URL every 30
minutes. Note that if the channel is idle, the topic will not be reset during that time.
/msg x set <#channel> autotopic
DESCRIPTION - Sets the default channel topic (maximum of 80 characters). This does NOT
affect the actual channel topic, unless AUTOTOPIC is ON. The topic can be seen only by the
CHANINFO command (level 0). If no description text is specified, the current description is
reset.
Alias: DESC
/msg x set <#channel> description [text]
or
/msg x set <#channel> desc [text]
FLOATLIM - Sets the floating-limit feature on or off. If turned on, X will reset the channel
limit within a preset margin above the number of users in the channel, and within a
preset period of time. This aids in preventing large floodnets from joining and flooding the
channel. By default, this feature is off. When turned on, the STATUS command will show the
settings on the "Flags set:" line as follows: "FLOATLIM (MGN:3, PRD:20, GRC:1, MAX:0)." This
means that FLOATLIM is on, with a FLOATMARGIN of 3, a FLOATPERIOD of 20 seconds, a FLOATGRACE
of 1, and no FLOATMAX. Refer to the SET FLOATGRACE, SET FLOATMARGIN, SET FLOATMAX, and SET
FLOATPERIOD commands for more information.
/msg x set <#channel> floatlim
FLOATGRACE - Sets the floating-limit grace value to be used in the channel. This number can
be between 0-19. This makes X avoid changing the limit if it will be smaller than the grace
value. In other words, this is the value that corresponds to the number of extra users that
join or part a channel before X changes the limit. As a result, X will not litter quiet
channels with lots of mode changes. The default value is 1.
/msg x set <#channel> floatgrace <0-19>
FLOATMARGIN - Sets the floating-limit margin to be used in the channel. This number can be
between 2-20. The limit that X resets will be: number of users in the channel + FLOATMARGIN.
The default value is 3.
/msg x set <#channel> floatmargin <2-20>
FLOATMAX - Sets the maximum limit for the floating-limit setting. This can be any number
desired, and will prevent X from changing the channel limit to a number higher than the
chosen number. Thus, it is possible for a channel to limit how many users they want in
a channel at any given time. The default value is 0, which turns the setting off.
/msg x set <#channel> floatmax <0 | max limit desired>
FLOATPERIOD - Sets the floating-limit period, in seconds, to be used before X resets the
channel limit. This number must be between 20-200. The default value is 20 seconds.
/msg x set <#channel> floatperiod <20-200>
KEYWORDS - Sets keywords for your channel that will trigger on a SEARCH (level 0) of
channels. If no keywords are specified, the current keywords are reset. The maximum string
of keywords is 80 characters long.
/msg x set <#channel> keywords [text]
MODE - This will save the current channel modes as default. Whenever X joins the channel, it
will reset those modes if any are not set at the time and it is alone in the channel.
/msg x set <#channel> mode
URL - You can state your channel's homepage address(es) with this option (maximum of 75
characters). Spaces are permitted, allowing multiple URL parameters to be specified. This
does NOT affect the channel topic, unless AUTOTOPIC is ON (level 450). The DESCRIPTION and
URL can be seen by using the CHANINFO command (level 0). If no url is specified, the current
url is reset.
/msg x set <#channel> url [url url2 ... urlN]
USERFLAGS - Determines whether or not OP or VOICE will automatically be set for AUTOMODE when
a new user is added to the userlist. Default value is 0 (None). NOTE: Once a user is on the
userlist, the MODINFO AUTOMODE command (level 400) can be issued to change the value for
that individual alone.
* Values: 0 = No AutoMode set for all new users added.
1 = Op AutoMode set for all new users added.
2 = Voice AutoMode set for all new users added.
/msg x set <#channel> userflags <0-2>
JOIN - Makes X join your channel.
/msg x join <#channel>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVELS 400-449 : Userlist Admin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDUSER - Adds a user to the channel's userlist. You cannot ADDUSER someone with equal or
higher access than your own.
/msg x adduser <#channel>
CLEARMODE - Clears all channel modes. Can be used when your channel has been locked up
(set +i or +k without your knowledge).
NOTE: This is not necessarily the best method to gain entry to your channel, because other
people or bots may be opped in the channel that may reset the modes as you clear them. Refer
to the STATUS command (level 200) for related information.
/msg x clearmode <#channel>
MODINFO - The following commands can be used to make changes to existing users in your
channel's userlist.
/msg x modinfo <#channel>
* Variables for ModInfo:
ACCESS - Changes the access level of a user. Access level can be set between 1 and one
less than your own level (if you have an access level of 400, you may assign a level of up
to 399 to other users).
/msg x modinfo <#channel> access
AUTOMODE - Changes the automode of a user to one the specified modes: NONE, OP, or VOICE.
OP or VOICE will make X op or voice an authenticated user when they enter the channel.
NONE will make X do nothing when an authenticated user enters the channel.
/msg x modinfo <#channel> automode
REMUSER - Removes a user from the channel database. You must have higher access than the user
you want to remove. You can also remove yourself from any channel, as long as you are not the
channel manager (500 access level in that channel). Managers wishing to remove themselves
will need to purge their channel.
/msg x remuser <#channel>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 200 : Userlist Op
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KICK - Makes X kick all users matching the specified *!*user@*.host mask, but does not
kick the person issuing the command if they match also. This should be a seldom used command.
Use should be limited to extreme channel flooding or clones. You may want to set a ban on the
mask, or +i (invite mode) on the channel before issuing the kick to prevent matching users
from rejoining after being kicked.
/msg x kick <#channel> [reason]
STATUS - Displays all special X settings, channel modes, the number of users and ops in the
channel, currently authenticated users for the channel, and whether X is on the channel or
not. Currently authenticated users are shown in a "username/nickname [level]" format. Users
authenticated with multiple clients are shown in a "username/nickname1 nicknameN [level]"
format. A user's nickname will only be shown if that user is currently on the channel,
otherwise only their username and level are displayed. The ability to see channel modes is
extremely helpful in case the channel is +k (keyed mode), since you can find out what the
key is. This commands works regardless of whether X is on the channel or not.
/msg x status <#channel>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVELS 100-399 : Channel Operator
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEOP - Deops one or more persons in your channel. If no nick is specified, and you are opped
on the channel, X will deop you. NOTE: be mindful of triggering the limit that may be in
effect with MASSDEOPPRO (see SET MASSDEOPPRO - level 500).
/msg x deop <#channel> [nick] [nick2] ... [nickN]
OP - Ops one or more persons in your channel. If no nick is specified, and you are not opped
on the channel, X will op you.
/msg x op <#channel> [nick] [nick2] ... [nickN]
INVITE - Makes X invite you to your channel.
/msg x invite <#channel>
SUSPEND - Suspends a user's access to X on your channel's userlist for the specified period of
time, at the specified level if given. If a level is not specified, the default suspension
level used will be the access level of the issuer. You can only SUSPEND someone with access
lower than your own. The maximum duration is 372 days (8928 hours, 535680 minutes).
* Time Values: D = days
H = hours
M = minutes
/msg x suspend <#channel> [level]
* Duration Example: "5 d" = 5 days (enter without quotations)
UNSUSPEND - Unsuspends a user's access to X on your channel's userlist. You can only
UNSUSPEND someone with access lower than your own, provided that the suspension level is also
less than or equal to your own access level.
/msg x unsuspend <#channel>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVELS 75-99 : New Channel Operator
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAN - Adds a specific *!*user@*.host to the X banlist of your channel. You may place a ban on
a nick if the person is online or ban their *!*user@*.host if the person is not online. Bans
that cover a broader range than previously set bans will replace previous bans. Any user in
the channel that matches the added ban will be kicked out if the ban level is 75+. The
duration is in hours, with a maximum of 336 hours (2 weeks). The ban level can range from 1 to
your own level. The ban reason can be a maximum of 128 characters long. If no duration or
level is specified, the default duration will be 3 hours, and the level will be 75.
* Ban Levels: 1-74 = Prevents the user from having ops (+o) on the channel.
75+ = Prevents the user from being in the channel at all.
/msg x ban <#channel> [duration] [level] [reason]
UNBAN - Removes a *!*user@*.host from the X banlist of your channel and any matching bans
from the channel banlist also. You can only remove bans from X's banlist that are equal to or
lower than your own access. To search X's banlist, refer to the LBANLIST command (level 0).
/msg x unban <#channel>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVELS 50-74 : Trusted Channel Regular
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KICK - Makes X kick someone from your channel; reason is optional. Your nick will be placed
in the kick message.
/msg x kick <#channel> [reason]
TOPIC - Makes X change the topic in your channel (maximum of 145 characters) and includes
your username, enclosed in parentheses, at the beginning of the topic. NOTE: If a DESCRIPTION
or URL has been set and AUTOTOPIC is ON, the channel topic will be overwritten in 30 minutes,
unless the channel is idle.
/msg x topic <#channel>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/msg x status #channel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 0 : Everyone else

If there are more than 15 entries, go to http://cservice.undernet.org/live/ and login to see
the entire list by clicking on the "Channel Information" link and submitting the channel name.
You can also use and mix these options instead of a username or string to get specific
results.

/msg x help [command]
INFO - Displays information about a username such as their nick(s) and user@host(s) if they
are currently online, their language and invisible settings, last seen information, and
whether they may have been suspended by a CService Administrator. If used on yourself, it also
shows your registered email address, the last hostmask (nick!userid@host format) used when the
username was logged into, your max logins setting, and lists all channels which you have access
on (only CService and you can see this information, not other users). If you wish to make this
information hidden to the public, refer to the SET INVISIBLE command (level 0).
/msg x info
LBANLIST - Searches X's banlist for a certain string. Use * to see the whole list, or specify
a *!*user@*.host to find a specific ban. If there are more than 15 entries, go to
http://cservice.undernet.org/live/ and login to see the entire list by clicking on the
"Channel Information" link and submitting the channel name.
/msg x lbanlist <#channel> <* | *!*user@*.host>
LOGIN - This loads your access listing into memory and authenticates you on ALL channels
which you have access on simultaneously. You can login to your account more than once,
using multiple clients/connections to the IRC server. The number of concurrent connections
you can use depends on your MAXLOGINS setting (see SET MAXLOGINS - level 0). Whenever a new
concurrent connection is established, X will send you a notice to let you know who it was and
advise you to use the SUSPENDME command if that person is not you, meaning your account may
have been compromised (see SUSPENDME - level 0).
/msg x@channels.undernet.org login
MOTD - Displays X's message of the day.
/msg x motd
NEWPASS - This command has been disabled on IRC, and can only be performed from the CService
website (http://cservice.undernet.org/live/). Once you login to your account on the website,
you can change your password by using the "New Password" link. If you have forgotten your
password, or cannot login due to an invalid password, then you can get your password reset
and emailed to you by using the "Forgotten Password" link on the website. If you still have
problems getting your password changed or reset, please /join #CService and ask there.
NOTE: 1. Passwords are case-sensitive. For example: "CService" is not "cservice."
2. Passwords can be more than one word long, allowing you to have a sentence or phrase
as your password to increase the difficulty of it being discovered. We encourage you
to take advantage of this feature. The maximum length is 50 characters.
For example, a password can be: "Undernet Channel Service"
REMUSER - At this level, and above, you can remove yourself from any channel, as long as you
are not the channel manager (500 access level in that channel). Managers wishing to remove
themselves will need to purge their channel.
/msg x remuser <#channel>
SEARCH - Makes X list channels where the given search parameters match set keywords on the
channel, if any. The use of wildcards are not required.
/msg x search
SET - Changes special modes for your username.
/msg x set
* Variables and Values:
INVISIBLE - This is a personal setting that allows you to toggle the visibility of your
username information, retrievable from the INFO command, to be visible or hidden. To learn
more about the available information, refer to the INFO command (level 0).
/msg x set invisible
LANG - Changes the language for X's replies to you.
/msg x set lang
Languages available:
Code - Language
· ar - Arabic
· ca - Catalan
· de - German
· dk - Danish
· en - English
· es - Spanish
· fr - French
· hu - Hungarian
· it - Italian
· nl - Dutch *
· no - Norwegian
· pt - Portuguese
· ro - Romanian
· tr - Turkish
* = these languages are not available yet, but we plan to support them soon.
MAXLOGINS - This personal setting lets you determine the allowed number of concurrent logins
(authenticated uses) to your username (account). Thus, you could keep a client authenticated
from home/work/school while also being able to use your account from elsewhere. Another
possibility is to share the same account for yourself and your bot. Yet another example is
that when you get disconnected, you can login immediately without waiting for your ghost to
disconnect. By default, this is set to 1, and is not affected by simultaneously being
authenticated on the website.
/msg x set maxlogins <1-3>
SHOWCOMMANDS - Shows all the commands you can use on a channel, according to your access
level. If no channel is specified, then only the level 0 commands are shown.
/msg x showcommands [#channel]
SHOWIGNORE - Shows X's ignore list. Ignores happen when someone intentionally or accidentally
floods X. The time length is 60 minutes.
/msg x showignore
SUPPORT - An alternate method allowing you to confirm or deny support for a channel
application which you are listed as a supporter on. Upon authenticating, X will notify you of
any channel applications that you are listed as a supporter on and will also notify you of
this SUPPORT command. Alternatively, you can choose to view the application on the web to see
more information about it, post an objection, and confirm or deny your support from there. The
command will not be effective if you are not listed on a channel as a supporter, or a channel
does not have a pending application on the web.
/msg x support <#channel>
SUSPENDME - This command will globally suspend your account, essentially making you have a
level of 0 whenever you try to perform commands. The command will only work if at least two
users are simultaneously authenticated on an account. You must send an email to
x@undernet.org to request an unsuspension. Also, it would be a good idea to get your password
reset from the website, prior to sending the email, so that once the suspension is lifted no
one will be able to authenticate with your account using the compromised password.
/msg x@channels.undernet.org suspendme
VERIFY - Displays whether or not a person is logged in, and if so displays their username,
and also indicates whether or not they are an Official CService Administrator or
Representative, and/or an IRC Operator.
/msg x verify
