rcirc: Useful IRC commands
2.2 Useful IRC commands
=======================
As mentioned, if a command isn’t known by ‘rcirc’, it will simply be
sent along to the server. Some such commands are available on nearly
all IRC servers, such as:
‘/away’
This sets your status as “being away” if you provide a reason, or
sets your status as “being back” if you do not. People can use the
‘C-c C-w’ command to check your status. Example: ‘/away food’.
Typical IRC servers implement many more commands. You can read more
about the fantastic world of IRC online at the Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
help archive (http://www.irchelp.org/).
