whois

Requests user informations
Syntax

whois [server] <nickname>

Description
Requests informations about an irc user specified by <nickname>.
If [server] is specified, the request is directed to that one. [server] may be a nickname so that the request is redirected to the server that the user with that nickname is connected to.
An useful trick is to use the following syntax:
whois <nickname> <nickname>
This will requests informations about the user <nickname> to the server that he is currently connected to; returning the idle time among the other common informations.
This command is connection dependant.
Examples

# Query info about Pragma
whois Pragma
# Get the Pragma idle time
whois Pragma Pragma
