Synopsis:
load guh
Description:
This script consists of a trio of functions, primarily aimed at fetching
information about other clients. Each relies on a server query, so they
may not return the requested information immediately.
The first is $whatchan(). It takes a single nickname as its argument,
and uses WHOIS to try to return a list of channels that nickname is on.
The second is $is_on(). It also takes a single nickname as its argument.
If the nickname is currently on irc, it returns that nickname; it returns
nothing if it is not in use.
The last is $uh(). It takes an arbitrary number of nicknames as its
arguments, and uses them as the input arguments for a USERHOST call. It
returns the output from USERHOST , usually a list of addresses, one per
nickname.

ison (2); load (5); userhost (2); whois (2)
