They are special in that the client is +constantly updating their values automatically. There are also +numerous variable modifiers available. + + Modifier Description + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + $variable A normal variable, expanding to the first match of: + | 1) an internal SET variable + | 2) an environment variable + $[num]variable Expands to the variables value, with 'num' width. If + | the number is negative, the value is right-aligned. + | The value is padded to meet the width with the + | character given after number (default is space). + | The value is truncated to specified width unless + | '!' character precedes the number. If '.' character + | precedes the number the value isn't padded, just + | truncated. + $#variable Expands to the number of words in $variable. If $variable + | is omitted, it assumes $* + $@variable Expands to the number of characters in $variable. if + | $variable is omitted, it assumes $* + $($subvariable) This is somewhat similar to a pointer, in that the + | value of $subvar is taken as the name of the + | variable to expand to. Nesting is allowed. + ${expression} Permits the value to be embedded in another string + | unambiguously. + $!history! Expands to a matching entry in the client's command + | history, wildcards allowed. + +B<TODO: provide some examples of the various forms of truncation/padding, etc> + +=head1 ALIAS AND FORMAT TEMPLATE ARGUMENTS + +Whenever an alias is called, these expandos are set to the arguments passed +to it. If none of these expandos are used in the alias, or the C<$()> form +shown above, any arguments passed will automatically be appended to the last +command in the alias. + + Expando Description + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + $* expands to all arguments passed to an alias + $n expands to argument 'n' passed to an alias (counting from zero) + $n-m expands to arguments 'n' through 'm' passed to an alias + $n- expands to all arguments from 'n' on passed to an alias + $-m expands to all arguments up to 'm' passed to an alias + $~ expands to the last argument passed to an alias + +=head1 EXPANDOS (SPECIAL VARIABLES) + +These variables are set and updated dynamically by the client. The case of +C<$A .. $Z> is important. + + Variable Description + ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + $, last person who sent you a MSG + $. last person to whom you sent a MSG + $: last person to join a channel you are on + $; last person to send a public message to a channel you are on + $A text of your AWAY message, if any + $B body of last MSG you sent + $C current channel + $D last person that NOTIFY detected a signon for + $E idle time + $F time client was started, $time() format + $H current server numeric being processed + $I channel you were last INVITEd to + $J client version text string + $K current value of CMDCHARS + $k first character in CMDCHARS + $L current contents of the input line + $M modes of current channel, if any + $N current nickname + $O value of STATUS_OPER if you are an irc operator + $P if you are a channel operator in $C, expands to a '@' + $Q nickname of whomever you are QUERYing + $R version of current server + $S current server name + $T target of current input (channel or nick of query) + $U value of cutbuffer + $V client release date (format YYYYMMDD) + $W current working directory + $X your /userhost $N address (user@host) + $Y value of REALNAME + $Z time of day (hh:mm, can be changed with /SET timestamp_format) + $$ a literal '$' + $versiontime prints time of the irssi version in HHMM format + $sysname system name (eg. Linux) + $sysrelease system release (eg. 2.2.18) + $sysarch system architecture (eg. i686) + $topic channel topic + $usermode user mode + $cumode own channel user mode + $cumode_space like $cumode, but gives space if there's no mode. + $tag server tag + $chatnet chat network of server + $winref window reference number + $winname window name + $itemname like $T, but use item's visible_name which may be + different (eg. $T = !12345chan, $itemname = !chan) |
