# User Commands

Standard IRC commands are not listed here. Several of the commands in the operator commands chapter can also be used by normal users.

### ACCEPT

    ACCEPT
    	  nick,
    	  -nick,
    	  ...

Adds or removes users from your accept list for umode +g and +R. Users are automatically removed when they quit, split or change nick.

    ACCEPT
    	  *

Lists all users on your accept list.

Support of this command is indicated by the CALLERID token in RPL_ISUPPORT (005); the optional parameter indicates the letter of the only allow accept users to send private messages umode, otherwise +g. In charybdis this is always +g.

### CNOTICE

    CNOTICE
    	  nick
    	  channel
    	  :text

Providing you are opped (+o) or voiced (+v) in `channel`, and `nick` is a member of `channel`, CNOTICE generates a NOTICE towards `nick`.

CNOTICE bypasses any anti-spam measures in place. If you get Targets changing too fast, message dropped, you should probably use this command, for example sending a notice to every user joining a certain channel.

As of charybdis 3.1, NOTICE automatically behaves as CNOTICE if you are in a channel fulfilling the conditions.

Support of this command is indicated by the CNOTICE token in RPL_ISUPPORT (005).

### CPRIVMSG

    CPRIVMSG
    	  nick
    	  channel
    	  :text

Providing you are opped (+o) or voiced (+v) in `channel`, and `nick` is a member of `channel`, CPRIVMSG generates a PRIVMSG towards `nick`.

CPRIVMSG bypasses any anti-spam measures in place. If you get Targets changing too fast, message dropped, you should probably use this command.

As of charybdis 3.1, PRIVMSG automatically behaves as CPRIVMSG if you are in a channel fulfilling the conditions.

Support of this command is indicated by the CPRIVMSG token in RPL_ISUPPORT (005).

### FINDFORWARDS

    FINDFORWARDS
    	  channel

This command is only available if the `m_findforwards.so` extension is loaded.

Displays which channels forward to the given channel (via cmode +f). If there are very many channels the list will be truncated.

You must be a channel operator on the channel or an IRC operator to use this command.

### HELP

    HELP
    	  topic

Displays help information. `topic` can be INDEX, CREDITS, UMODE, CMODE, SNOMASK or a command name.

There are separate help files for users and opers. Opers can use UHELP to query the user help files.

### IDENTIFY

    IDENTIFY
    	  parameters...

This command is only available if the `m_identify.so` extension is loaded.

Sends an identify command to either NickServ or ChanServ. If the first parameter starts with #, the command is sent to ChanServ, otherwise to NickServ. The word IDENTIFY, a space and all parameters are concatenated and sent as a PRIVMSG to the service. If the service is not online or does not have umode +S set, no message will be sent.

The exact syntax for this command depends on the services package in use.

### KNOCK

    KNOCK
    	  channel

Requests an invite to the given channel. The channel must be locked somehow (+ikl), must not be +p and you may not be banned or quieted. Also, this command is rate limited.

If successful, all channel operators will receive a 710 numeric. The recipient field of this numeric is the channel.

Support of this command is indicated by the KNOCK token in RPL_ISUPPORT (005).

### MONITOR

Support of this command is indicated by the MONITOR token in RPL_ISUPPORT (005); the parameter indicates the maximum number of nicknames you may have in your monitor list.

You may only use this command once per second.
