ircII help - on/ctcp

Usage: ON [#|+|-|^|&|@]CTCP [-|^]<parameters> [action]

This event is activated whenever someone sends a client-to-client protocol (CTCP) request. Certain CTCP types have predefined actions that you can't override with the ^, but you can use the - to create your own ctcp protocols. The parameters are:

        $0      nick of person who send CTCP
        $1      who the ctcp was to (either your nick or a channel)
        $2      The CTCP command word
        $3-     Any additional arguments

For example, if you want to set up a new ctcp function called CHEESE, you would do:

    ON -CTCP "* * CHEESE" CTCP $0 $2 Say Cheese!

Using the /ctcp in an ON CTCP automatically sends the proper reply format. If someone sends you a:

    CTCP <yournick> CHEESE

you will see:

    *** CTCP CHEESE from <theirnick>:

and they will see:

    *** CTCP REPLY CHEESE from <yournick>: Say Cheese!
