|
Many KVIrc commands are connection dependant:
you need an IRC connection to succesfully execute them;
usually because some data needs to be sent to the server.
This includes commands like whois,raw,query,
msg,notice,op,ctcp... These commands must be executed in a window that is bound to a connected irc context. You will obviously get an error message if you try to use them in a window that has no associated IRC connection. For instance: whois will work only if you execute it in a console , channel or query window. If you want to use these commands in a window that is not associated to any irc context you may use the standard -r switch. You can use the same switch to execute a command in an irc context that is not the current one. |

Description | |
Starts a DNS lookup for the <hostname> and prints
the results in the current window. The -i switch causes the command to execute in IpV6 mode (and lookup ONLY IpV6 hosts!). The -a switch causes the command to run in "unspecified" mode and return any available address: IpV4 or Ipv6. This command also performs reverse lookups (if you pass an IP address as <hostname>). |
