1 TS6 protocol description
2 Written by Jilles Tjoelker
3
4 General format: much like rfc1459
5 Maximum parameters for a command: 15 (this does not include the prefix
6 and command name)
7
8 SID: a server's unique ID. It is configured in each server and consists of
9 a digit and two alphanumerics. Sending SIDs with lowercase letters is
10 questionable.
11
12 UID: a client's unique ID. It consists of the server's SID and six
13 alphanumerics (so it is nine characters long). The first of the alphanumerics
14 should be a letter, numbers are legal but reserved for future use.
15
16 hunted: a parameter type used for various remote requests. From local users,
17 nicknames and server names are accepted, possibly with wildcards; from servers,
18 UIDs/SIDs (sending names or even wildcards is deprecated). This is done with
19 the function hunt_server(). Any rate limiting should be done locally.
20
21 duration: a parameter type used for ban durations. It is a duration in seconds.
22 A value of 0 means a permanent ban.
23
24 propagation: to which other servers the command is sent
25
26 For all commands with a hunted parameter, the propagation is determined by
27 that, and not otherwise specified.
28
29 For all commands with a target server mask parameter, the propagation is
30 determined by that, and not otherwise specified. The command is sent to all
31 servers with names matching the given mask (for example '*', '*.example.com',
32 'irc.example.com'). Those servers do not have to be directly connected.
33 Targets cannot be SIDs.
34
35 Propagation broadcast means the command is sent to all servers.
36
37 Propagation one-to-one means the command is only sent to the target or the
38 server the target is on.
39
40 Propagation none means the command is never sent to another server if it is
41 received.
42
43 For some other commands, the propagation depends on the parameters and is
44 described in text.
45
46 services server: server mentioned in a service{} block. There are no services
47 servers on EFnet.
48
49 service: client with umode +S. This implies that it is on a services server.
50
51 connection setup:
52 The initiator sends the PASS, CAPAB and SERVER messages. Upon receiving the
53 SERVER, the listener will check the information, and if it is valid, it will
54 send its own PASS, CAPAB and SERVER messages, followed by SVINFO and the burst.
55 Upon receiving the SERVER, the initiator will send SVINFO and the burst. If
56 ziplinks are used, SVINFO is the first compressed message.
57
58 The burst consists of SID and SERVER messages for all known servers, BAN
59 messages for all propagated bans, UID or EUID messages for all known users
60 (possibly followed by ENCAP REALHOST, ENCAP LOGIN and/or AWAY) and SJOIN
61 messages for all known channels (possibly followed by BMASK and/or TB).
62
63 user modes:
64 (all)
65 +D (deaf: does not receive channel messages)
66 +S (network service) (only settable on burst from a services server)
67 +a (appears as server administrator)
68 +i (invisible, see rfc1459)
69 +o (IRC operator, see rfc1459)
70 +w (wallops, see rfc1459) (always propagated for historical reasons)
71 (charybdis TS6)
72 +Q/+R/+g/+l/+s/+z (only locally effective)
73 +Z (ssl user) (only settable on burst)
74 possibly more added by modules
75
76 channel modes:
77 (all)
78 statuses
79 +o (prefix @) (ops)
80 +v (prefix +) (voice)
81 type A
82 +b (ban)
83 +e (ban exception) (capab: EX)
84 +I (invite exception) (capab: IE)
85 type B
86 +k (key: password required to join, <= 23 ascii chars, no : or , or whitespace)
87 type C
88 +l (limit: maximum number of members before further joins are disallowed)
89 type D
90 +m (moderated)
91 +n (no external messages)
92 +p (private: does not appear in /whois to non-members, no /knock allowed)
93 +r (only registered users may join) (only if a services server exists) (capab: SERVICES)
94 +s (secret)
95 +t (only chanops may change topic)
96 (charybdis TS6)
97 type A
98 +q (quiet)
99 type C
100 +f (forward: channel name <= 30 chars)
101 +j (join throttle: N:T with integer N and T)
102 type D
103 +F (free target for +f)
104 +L (large ban list)
105 +P (permanent: does not disappear when empty)
106 +Q (ignore forwards to this)
107 +c (strip colours)
108 +g (allow any member to /invite)
109 +z (send messages blocked by +m to chanops)
110
111 <numeric>
112 source: server
113 parameters: target, any...
114
115 The command name should be three decimal ASCII digits.
116
117 Propagates a "numeric" command reply, such as from a remote WHOIS request.
118
119 If the first digit is 0 (indicating a reply about the local connection), it
120 should be changed to 1 before propagation or sending to a user.
121
122 Numerics to the local server may be sent to opers.
123
124 To avoid infinite loops, servers should not send any replies to numerics.
125
126 The target can be:
127 - a client
128 propagation: one-to-one
129 - a channel name
130 propagation: all servers with -D users on the channel
131
132 Numerics to channels are broken in some older servers.
133
134 ADMIN
135 source: user
136 parameters: hunted
137
138 Remote ADMIN request.
139
140 AWAY
141 source: user
142 propagation: broadcast
143 parameters: opt. away reason
144
145 If the away reason is empty or not present, mark the user as not away.
146 Otherwise, mark the user as away.
147
148 Changing away reason from one non-empty string to another non-empty string
149 may not be propagated.
150
151 BAN
152 charybdis TS6
153 capab: BAN
154 source: any
155 propagation: broadcast (restricted)
156 parameters: type, user mask, host mask, creation TS, duration, lifetime, oper, reason
157
158 Propagates a network wide ban.
159
160 The type is K for K:lines, R for resvs and X for X:lines; other types are
161 reserved. The user mask field is only used for K:lines; for resvs and X:lines
162 the field is ignored in input and sent as an asterisk.
163
164 The creation TS indicates when this ban was last modified. An incoming ban MUST
165 be ignored and not propagated if the creation TS is older than the creation TS
166 of the current ban. If the ban is identical, it SHOULD NOT be propagated to
167 avoid unnecessary network traffic. (Two changes to bans that set the TS to the
168 same value may cause desynchronization.)
169
170 The duration is 0 for an unban and relative to the creation TS for a ban.
171 When the duration has passed, the ban is no longer active but it may still
172 be necessary to remember it.
173
174 The lifetime is relative to the creation TS and indicates for how long this
175 ban needs to be remembered and propagated. This MUST be at least the duration.
176 Initially, it is usually set the same as the duration but when the ban is
177 modified later, it SHOULD be set such that the modified ban is remembered at
178 least as long as the original ban. This ensures that the original ban does not
179 revive via split servers. This requirement is only a SHOULD to allow for
180 implementations that only inject bans and do not remember any; implementations
181 that remember and propagate bans MUST set the lifetime appropriately.
182
183 The oper field indicates the oper that originally set the ban. If this message
184 is the initial propagation of a change, it SHOULD be sent as * (an asterisk).
185
186 The reason field indicates the reason for the ban. Any part after a | (vertical
187 bar) MUST NOT be shown to normal users. The rest of the field and the creation
188 TS and duration MAY be shown to normal users.
189
190 BMASK
191 source: server
192 propagation: broadcast
193 parameters: channelTS, channel, type, space separated masks
194
195 If the channelTS in the message is greater (newer) than the current TS of
196 the channel, drop the message and do not propagate it.
197
198 Type is the mode letter of a ban-like mode. In efnet TS6 this is 'b', 'e' or
199 'I'. In charybdis TS6 additionally 'q' is possible.
200
201 Add all the masks to the given list of the channel.
202
203 All ban-like modes must be bursted using this command, not using MODE or TMODE.
204
205 CAPAB
206 source: unregistered server
207 propagation: none
208 parameters: space separated capability list
209
210 Sends capabilities of the server. This must include QS and ENCAP. It is also
211 strongly recommended to include EX, CHW, IE and KNOCK, and for charybdis TS6
212 also SAVE and EUID. For use with services, SERVICES and RSFNC are strongly
213 recommended.
214
215 The capabilities may depend on the configuration for the server they are sent
216 to.
217
218 CHGHOST
219 charybdis TS6
220 source: any
221 propagation: broadcast
222 parameters: client, new hostname
223
224 Changes the visible hostname of a client.
225
226 Opers are notified unless the source is a server or a service.
227
228 CONNECT
229 source: any
230 parameters: server to connect to, port, hunted
231
232 Remote connect request. A server WALLOPS should be sent by the receiving
233 server.
234
235 The port can be 0 for the default port.
236
237 DLINE
238 charybdis TS6
239 encap only
240 source: user
241 parameters: duration, mask, reason
242
243 Sets a D:line (IP ban checked directly after accepting connection).
244
245 The mask must be an IP address or CIDR mask.
246
247 ENCAP
248 source: any
249 parameters: target server mask, subcommand, opt. parameters...
250
251 Sends a command to matching servers. Propagation is independent of
252 understanding the subcommand.
253
254 Subcommands are listed elsewhere with "encap only".
255
256 ERROR
257 source: server or unregistered server
258 propagation: none
259 parameters: error message
260
261 Reports a (usually fatal) error with the connection.
262
263 Error messages may contain IP addresses and have a negative effect on server
264 IP hiding.
265
266 ETRACE
267 encap only
268 encap target: single server
269 source: oper
270 parameters: client
271
272 Remote ETRACE information request.
273
274 EUID
275 charybdis TS6
276 capab: EUID
277 source: server
278 parameters: nickname, hopcount, nickTS, umodes, username, visible hostname, IP address, UID, real hostname, account name, gecos
279 propagation: broadcast
280
281 Introduces a client. The client is on the source server of this command.
282
283 The account name is '0' if the user is not logged in with services.
284
285 Nick TS rules apply.
286
287 EUID is similar to UID but includes the ENCAP REALHOST and ENCAP LOGIN
288 information.
289
290 GCAP
291 encap only
292 encap target: *
293 source: server
294 parameters: space separated capability list
295
296 Capability list of remote server.
297
298 GLINE
299 efnet TS6
300 capab: GLN
301 source: user
302 parameters: user mask, host mask, reason
303 propagation: broadcast
304
305 Propagates a G:line vote. Once votes from three different opers (based on
306 user@host mask) on three different servers have arrived, trigger the G:line.
307 Pending G:lines expire after some time, usually ten minutes. Triggered G:lines
308 expire after a configured time which may differ across servers.
309
310 Requests from server connections must be propagated, unless they are found to
311 be syntactically invalid (e.g. '!' in user mask). Therefore, disabling glines
312 must not affect propagation, and too wide glines, double votes and glines that
313 already exist locally must still be propagated.
314
315 Of course, servers are free to reject gline requests from their own operators.
316
317 GUNGLINE
318 efnet TS6
319 encap only
320 encap target: *
321 source: user
322 parameters: user mask, host mask, reason
323 propagation: broadcast
324
325 Propagates a G:line removal vote. Once three votes have arrived (as with
326 G:lines), remove the G:line. Pending G:lines removals expire after some time,
327 usually ten minutes.
328
329 Pending G:line removals do not interact with pending G:lines. Triggering a
330 G:line does not affect a pending G:line removal. Triggering a G:line removal
331 does not affect a pending G:line.
332
333 INFO
334 source: user
335 parameters: hunted
336
337 Remote INFO request.
338
339 INVITE
340 source: user
341 parameters: target user, channel, opt. channelTS
342 propagation: one-to-one
343
344 Invites a user to a channel.
345
346 If the channelTS is greater (newer) than the current TS of the channel, drop
347 the message.
348
349 Not sending the channelTS parameter is deprecated.
350
351 JOIN
352 1.
353 source: user
354 parameters: '0' (one ASCII zero)
355 propagation: broadcast
356
357 Parts the source user from all channels.
358
359 2.
360 source: user
361 parameters: channelTS, channel, '+' (a plus sign)
362 propagation: broadcast
363
364 Joins the source user to the given channel. If the channel does not exist yet,
365 it is created with the given channelTS and no modes. If the channel already
366 exists and has a greater (newer) TS, wipe all simple modes and statuses and
367 change the TS, notifying local users of this but not servers (note that
368 ban-like modes remain intact; invites may or may not be cleared).
369
370 A JOIN is propagated with the new TS of the channel.
371
372 KICK
373 source: any
374 parameters: channel, target user, opt. reason
375 propagation: broadcast
376
377 Kicks the target user from the given channel.
378
379 Unless the channel's TS is 0, no check is done whether the source user has ops.
380
381 Not sending the reason parameter is questionable.
382
383 KILL
384 source: any
385 parameters: target user, path
386 propagation: broadcast
387
388 Removes the user from the network.
389
390 The format of the path parameter is some sort of description of the source of
391 the kill followed by a space and a parenthesized reason. To avoid overflow,
392 it is recommended not to add anything to the path.
393
394 KLINE
395 1.
396 encap only
397 source: user
398 parameters: duration, user mask, host mask, reason
399
400 Sets a K:line (ban on user@host).
401
402 2.
403 capab: KLN
404 source: user
405 parameters: target server mask, duration, user mask, host mask, reason
406
407 As form 1, deprecated.
408
409 KNOCK
410 capab: KNOCK
411 source: user
412 parameters: channel
413 propagation: broadcast
414
415 Requests an invite to a channel that is locked somehow (+ikl). Notifies all
416 operators of the channel. (In charybdis, on +g channels all members are
417 notified.)
418
419 This is broadcast so that each server can store when KNOCK was used last on
420 a channel.
421
422 LINKS
423 source: user
424 parameters: hunted, server mask
425
426 Remote LINKS request. The server mask limits which servers are listed.
427
428 LOCOPS
429 1.
430 encap only
431 source: user
432 parameters: text
433
434 Sends a message to operators (with umode +l set). This is intended to be
435 used for strict subsets of the network.
436
437 2.
438 capab: CLUSTER
439 source: user
440 parameters: target server mask, text
441
442 As form 1, deprecated.
443
444 LOGIN
445 encap only
446 source: user
447 parameters: account name
448
449 In a burst, states that the source user is logged in as the account.
450
451 LUSERS
452 source: user
453 parameters: server mask, hunted
454
455 Remote LUSERS request. Most servers ignore the server mask, treating it as '*'.
456
457 MLOCK
458 charybdis TS6
459 source: services server
460 parameters: channelTS, channel, cmode changes, opt. cmode parameters...
461 propagation: broadcast (restricted)
462
463 Propagates a channel mode lock change.
464
465 If the channelTS is greater (newer) than the current TS of the channel, drop
466 the message.
467
468 On input, only the limit on parameters per line restricts how many cmode
469 parameters can be present. Apart from this, arbitrary modes shall be
470 processed. Redundant modes may be dropped. For example, +n-n may be applied and
471 propagated as +n-n, -n or (if the channel was already -n) nothing, but not as
472 +n.
473
474 The parameter for mode -k (removing a key) shall be ignored.
475
476 An MLOCK message with no modes disables the MLOCK, therefore the MLOCK message
477 always contains the literal MLOCK for simplicity.
478
479 MODE
480 1.
481 source: user
482 parameters: client, umode changes
483 propagation: broadcast
484
485 Propagates a user mode change. The client parameter must refer to the same user
486 as the source.
487
488 Not all umodes are propagated to other servers.
489
490 2.
491 source: any
492 parameters: channel, cmode changes, opt. cmode parameters...
493
494 Propagates a channel mode change.
495
496 This is deprecated because the channelTS is not included. If it is received,
497 it should be propagated as TMODE.
498
499 MOTD
500 source: user
501 parameters: hunted
502
503 Remote MOTD request.
504
505 NICK
506 1.
507 source: user
508 parameters: new nickname, new nickTS
509 propagation: broadcast
510
511 Propagates a nick change.
512
513 2.
514 source: server
515 parameters: nickname, hopcount, nickTS, umodes, username, hostname, server, gecos
516
517 Historic TS5 user introduction. The user is on the server indicated by the
518 server parameter; the source server is meaningless (local link).
519
520 NICKDELAY
521 charybdis TS6
522 encap only
523 encap target: *
524 source: services server
525 parameters: duration, nickname
526
527 If duration is greater than 0, makes the given nickname unavailable for that
528 time.
529
530 If duration is 0, removes a nick delay entry for the given nickname.
531
532 There may or may not be a client with the given nickname; this does not affect
533 the operation.
534
535 NOTICE
536 source: any
537 parameters: msgtarget, message
538
539 As PRIVMSG, except NOTICE messages are sent out, server sources are permitted
540 and most error messages are suppressed.
541
542 Servers may not send '$$', '$#' and opers@server notices. Older servers may
543 not allow servers to send to specific statuses on a channel.
544
545 OPERSPY
546 encap only
547 encap target: *
548 source: user
549 parameters: command name, parameters
550
551 Reports operspy usage.
552
553 OPERWALL
554 source: user
555 parameters: message
556 propagation: broadcast
557
558 Sends a message to operators (with umode +z set).
559
560 PART
561 source: user
562 parameters: comma separated channel list, message
563
564 Parts the source user from the given channels.
565
566 PASS
567 source: unregistered server
568 parameters: password, 'TS', TS version, SID
569
570 Sends the server link password, TS version and SID.
571
572 PING
573 source: any
574 parameters: origin, opt. destination server
575
576 Sends a PING to the destination server, which will reply with a PONG. If the
577 destination server parameter is not present, the server receiving the message
578 must reply.
579
580 The origin field is not used in the server protocol. It is sent as the name
581 (not UID/SID) of the source.
582
583 Remote PINGs are used for end-of-burst detection, therefore all servers must
584 implement them.
585
586 PONG
587 source: server
588 parameters: origin, destination
589
590 Routes a PONG back to the destination that originally sent the PING.
591
592 PRIVMSG
593 source: user
594 parameters: msgtarget, message
595
596 Sends a normal message (PRIVMSG) to the given target.
597
598 The target can be:
599 - a client
600 propagation: one-to-one
601 - a channel name
602 propagation: all servers with -D users on the channel
603 (cmode +m/+n should be checked everywhere, bans should not be checked
604 remotely)
605 - a status character ('@'/'+') followed by a channel name, to send to users
606 with that status or higher only.
607 capab: CHW
608 propagation: all servers with -D users with appropriate status
609 - '=' followed by a channel name, to send to chanops only, for cmode +z.
610 capab: CHW and EOPMOD
611 propagation: all servers with -D chanops
612 - a user@server message, to send to users on a specific server. The exact
613 meaning of the part before the '@' is not prescribed, except that "opers"
614 allows IRC operators to send to all IRC operators on the server in an
615 unspecified format.
616 propagation: one-to-one
617 - a message to all users on server names matching a mask ('$$' followed by mask)
618 propagation: broadcast
619 Only allowed to IRC operators.
620 - a message to all users with hostnames matching a mask ('$#' followed by mask).
621 Note that this is often implemented poorly.
622 propagation: broadcast
623 Only allowed to IRC operators.
624
625 In charybdis TS6, services may send to any channel and to statuses on any
626 channel.
627
628 PRIVS
629 charybdis TS6
630 encap only
631 encap target: single server
632 source: oper
633 parameters: client
634
635 Remote PRIVS information request.
636
637 QUIT
638 source: user
639 parameters: comment
640
641 Propagates quitting of a client. No QUIT should be sent for a client that
642 has been removed as result of a KILL message.
643
644 REALHOST
645 charybdis TS6
646 encap only
647 encap target: *
648 source: user
649 parameters: real hostname
650
651 In a burst, propagates the real host of a dynamically-spoofed user.
652
653 REHASH
654 charybdis TS6
655 encap only
656 source: user
657 parameters: opt. rehash type
658

682 parameters: target user, new nickname, old nickTS, new nickTS
683
684 Forces a nickname change and propagates it.
685
686 The command is ignored if the nick TS of the user is not equal to the old
687 nickTS parameter. If the new nickname already exists (and is not the target
688 user), it is killed first.

692 encap only
693 1.
694 encap target: *
695 source: server
696 parameters: source uid, '*', 'S', sasl mechanism name
697
698 Requests that a SASL agent (a service) initiate the authentication process.
699 The source uid is that of an unregistered client. This is why it is not sent
700 as the prefix.
701
702 2.
703 encap target: single server
704 source: server
705 parameters: source uid, target uid, mode, data
706
707 Part of a SASL authentication exchange. The mode is 'C' to send some data
708 (base64 encoded), or 'S' to end the exchange (data indicates type of
709 termination: 'A' for abort, 'F' for authentication failure, 'S' for
710 authentication success).
711
712 SAVE
713 capab: SAVE
714 source: server
715 propagation: broadcast
716 parameters: target uid, TS
717
718 Resolve a nick collision by changing a nickname to the UID.
719
720 The server should verify that the UID belongs to a registered user, the user
721 does not already have their UID as their nick and the TS matches the user's
722 nickTS. If not, drop the message.
723
724 SAVE should be propagated as a regular NICK change to links without SAVE capab.
725 present.
726
727 SERVER
728 1.
729 source: unregistered server
730 parameters: server name, hopcount, server description
731
732 Registers the connection as a server. PASS and CAPAB must have been sent
733 before, SVINFO should be sent afterwards.
734
735 If there is no such server configured or authentication failed, the connection
736 should be dropped.
737
738 This is propagated as a SID message.
739
740 2.
741 source: server
742 propagation: broadcast
743 parameters: server name, hopcount, server description
744
745 Introduces a new TS5 server, directly connected to the source of this command.
746 This is only used for jupes as TS5 servers may do little else than existing.
747
748 SID
749 source: server
750 propagation: broadcast
751 parameters: server name, hopcount, sid, server description
752
753 Introduces a new server, directly connected to the source of this command.
754
755 SIGNON
756 source: user
757 propagation: broadcast
758 parameters: new nickname, new username, new visible hostname, new nickTS, new login name
759
760 Broadcasts a change of several user parameters at once.
761
762 Currently only sent after an SVSLOGIN.
763
764 SJOIN
765 source: server
766 propagation: broadcast
767 parameters: channelTS, simple modes, opt. mode parameters..., nicklist
768
769 Broadcasts a channel creation or bursts a channel.
770
771 The nicklist consists of users joining the channel, with status prefixes for
772 their status ('@+', '@', '+' or ''), for example:
773 '@+1JJAAAAAB +2JJAAAA4C 1JJAAAADS'. All users must be behind the source server
774 so it is not possible to use this message to force users to join a channel.
775
776 The interpretation depends on the channelTS and the current TS of the channel.
777 If either is 0, set the channel's TS to 0 and accept all modes. Otherwise, if
778 the incoming channelTS is greater (newer), ignore the incoming simple modes
779 and statuses and join and propagate just the users. If the incoming channelTS
780 is lower (older), wipe all modes and change the TS, notifying local users of
781 this but not servers (invites may be cleared). In the latter case, kick on
782 split riding may happen: if the key (+k) differs or the incoming simple modes
783 include +i, kick all local users, sending KICK messages to servers.
784
785 An SJOIN is propagated with the new TS and modes of the channel. The statuses
786 are propagated if and only if they were accepted.
787
788 SJOIN must be used to propagate channel creation and in netbursts. For regular
789 users joining channels, JOIN must be used. Pseudoservers may use SJOIN to join
790 a user with ops.
791
792 SNOTE
793 charybdis TS6
794 encap only
795 source: server
796 parameters: snomask letter, text

798 Sends the text as a server notice from the source server to opers with the
799 given snomask set.
800
801 SQUIT
802 parameters: target server, comment
803
804 Removes the target server and all servers and users behind it from the network.
805
806 If the target server is the receiving server or the local link this came from,
807 this is an announcement that the link is being closed.
808
809 Otherwise, if the target server is locally connected, the server should send
810 a WALLOPS announcing the SQUIT.
811
812 STATS
813 source: user
814 parameters: stats letter, hunted
815
816 Remote STATS request. Privileges are checked on the server executing the
817 actual request.

819 SU
820 encap only
821 encap target: *
822 source: services server
823 parameters: target user, new login name (optional)
824
825 If the new login name is not present or empty, mark the target user as not
826 logged in, otherwise mark the target user as logged in as the given account.
827
828 SVINFO
829 source: server
830 propagation: none
831 parameters: current TS version, minimum TS version, '0', current time
832
833 Verifies TS protocol compatibility and clock. If anything is not in order,
834 the link is dropped.
835
836 The current TS version is the highest version supported by the source server
837 and the minimum TS version is the lowest version supported.
838
839 The current time is sent as a TS in the usual way.
840
841 SVSLOGIN
842 charybdis TS6
843 encap only
844 encap target: single server
845 source: services server
846 parameters: target, new nick, new username, new visible hostname, new login name
847
848 Sent after successful SASL authentication.
849
850 The target is a UID, typically an unregistered one.
851
852 Any of the "new" parameters can be '*' to leave the corresponding field
853 unchanged. The new login name can be '0' to log the user out.
854
855 If the UID is registered on the network, a SIGNON with the changes will be
856 broadcast, otherwise the changes will be stored, to be used when registration
857 completes.
858
859 TB
860 capab: TB
861 source: server
862 propagation: broadcast
863 parameters: channel, topicTS, opt. topic setter, topic
864
865 Propagates a channel topic as part of a burst.
866
867 If the channel had no topic yet or the topicTS in the message is older than
868 the topicTS of the current topic on the channel and the topics differ, set
869 the topic with topicTS and topic setter, and propagate the message. Otherwise
870 ignore the message and do not propagate it.
871
872 If the topic setter is not present, use a server name instead.
873
874 TIME
875 source: user
876 parameters: hunted
877
878 Remote TIME request.
879
880 TMODE
881 source: any
882 parameters: channelTS, channel, cmode changes, opt. cmode parameters...
883
884 Propagates a channel mode change.
885
886 If the channelTS is greater (newer) than the current TS of the channel, drop
887 the message.
888
889 On input, only the limit on parameters per line restricts how many cmode
890 parameters can be present. Apart from this, arbitrary modes shall be
891 processed. Redundant modes may be dropped. For example, +n-n may be applied and
892 propagated as +n-n, -n or (if the channel was already -n) nothing, but not as
893 +n.
894
895 The parameter for mode -k (removing a key) shall be ignored.
896
897 On output, at most ten cmode parameters should be sent; if there are more,
898 multiple TMODE messages should be sent.
899
900 TOPIC
901 source: user
902 propagation: broadcast
903 parameters: channel, topic
904
905 Propagates a channel topic change. The server may verify that the source has
906 ops in the channel.
907
908 The topicTS shall be set to the current time and the topic setter shall be
909 set indicating the source user. Note that this means that the topicTS of a
910 topic set with TOPIC is not necessarily consistent across the network.
911
912 TRACE
913 source: user
914 1.
915 parameters: hunted
916
917 Performs a trace to the target, sending 200 numerics from each server passing
918 the message on. The target server sends a description of the target followed
919 by a 262 numeric.
920
921 TRACE, STATS l and STATS L are the only commands using hunt_server that use the
922 hunted parameter for more than just determining which server the command
923 should be executed on.
924
925 2.
926 parameters: target name, hunted
927
928 Executes a trace command on the target server. No 200 numerics are sent.
