Synopsis:
wi [<nickname>[ <nickname>[ ...]]]
Description:
The WI command is used to retrieve detailed information about the
nickname(s) specified. This will always include the user's
nickname, address (user@hostname), real name (IRCNAME), and the server
that user is on. It may also show what channels the user is on (if
any, and if they aren't +p/+s) and whether the user is +o/+v in any of
those channels, whether the user is away, and if the user is an irc
operator. WI also displays the idle time of that nick.
If no arguments are given, the WI will be performed on the client
itself.
Examples:
To get information on users JoeBob, ToeJam, and JuneBug:
/wi joebob toejam junebug
See Also:
who (2); whowas (2) whois (2)
Restrictions:
In WI output, only channels that are not +p or +s are shown, unless
the client happens to be on one of those channels.
Other Notes:
In addition to idle time, some servers also return the time the user
signed on to irc.
If you query a remote server for WHOIS information, there is no reliable
way to "wait" for the data to come back (i.e. WAIT will be useless).
