Synopsis:
on [<modes>]ctcp_reply [<serial#>] [-|^]<match> { <action> }
Description:
This hook is triggered whenever the client receives a CTCP reply from
another client. Note that the client doesn't necessarily need to send
any CTCP messages to receive a "reply".
Parameters:
$0 nickname of user sending reply
$1 CTCP command being replied to
$2- actual reply to CTCP command (varies, depends on $1)
Examples:
To customize the appearance of CTCP reply strings:
on ^ctcp_reply "*" {
echo *** Reply from $0 for CTCP $1 request: $2-
}
See Also:
ctcp(1); on(5) ctcp
Restrictions:
Automatic replies (MSGs, CTCPs, NOTICEs, etc.) to the sender with this
hook are explicitly prohibited. The protocol disallows it, and the
client will do everything in its power to prevent it. Any attempt will
result in an error message.
Bugs:
There is no way (from within this hook) to know who the actual target
of the reply is. This could be a problem, since it is trivial to send
bogus replies, and there is no way to tell if the client, or a channel,
was the target.
