Synopsis:
on [<modes>]pong [<serial#>] [-|^]<match> { <action> }
Description:
This hook is triggered whenever the client receives a protocol PONG
message. Under normal circumstances, the sender will be a server.
However, clients are also allowed to send PONG messages to each other.
Since there is never any reason for a client to send a PONG to another
client, this hook can be useful for blocking PONG floods.
Parameters:
$0 nickname sending the PONG
$1- argument to PONG (usually the same as $0, but not necessarily)
Examples:
To filter PONG messages from other clients:
on ^pong "*" {
if ( rmatch($0 %.%) ) echo *** Received protocol PONG from $0: $1-
}
