# awhois Asynchronous WHOIS
Usage
    awhois [-i] (<nickname>[,<magic>])
    {
        <callback command>
    }
Description
AWHOIS stands for Asynchronous WHOIS. It is used to obtain data for a specified irc user (designated by <nickname>). This command sends a WHOIS query to the server and silently awaits the sequence of replies. When the "End of WHOIS" message is received from server the <callback command> is executed passing the WHOIS information as positional parameters. The <magic> string is an optional string to be evaluated at AWHOIS execution time. It is passed as the last positional parameter. Callback command parameters: $0 = nickname $1 = username $2 = hostname $3 = realname (may be empty) $4 = server $5 = idle time (may be empty) $6 = signon time (may be empty) $7 = channels (may be empty) $8 = server that provided the information $9 = special information (may be empty) $10 = magic string evaluated at awhois call (may be empty) If the -i switch is specified , the whois message is sent to the server that the <nickname> user is connected to; in this way you will probably get the idle time of the user too. If the server replies with a "No such nick/channel error message" the <callback command> will be still triggered , but will have all the parameters empty with the exception of $0. If the connection gets interrupted before all the information have been received, the <callback command> will never be triggered. This command is connection dependant.
Switches
-i | --idle-time
Ask the whois informations to the server that <nickname> is connected to, effectively returning the user's idle time.
