ip2nick - nick2ip

[Miro]

Hi...

I am a beginner eggdrop scripter, and I have run into a dead-end to what I should do and to find information for things...

What I want to do is a simple public command !ip2nick <ip>, which will try to get the irc nick for the ip supplied...

Making the command and such working is simple... But to do the rest is a bit harder...

If doing this in mIRC manuall. This is what I do:
1. /dns <ip> - will give me the hostname for that ip
2. /who <hostname> - will give me the nick

But how do I do this in an eggdrop script?

And also, where can I find good explanation for eggdrop scripts.
i.e I know what all this does:
puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :hello world!"

I have tried to find what other things than "privmsg", "notice" there are.
Because looking at other scripts, I have found this for example:
putserv "WHOIS $nick"

So what does "WHOIS" do... And are there other ones?

Have you tried /whois in mIRC?

Commands like /dns in mirc, are not as simple in eggdrop. Mirc includes a lot of shortcuts, that do not actualy send messages to the server.

If you want more information on the commands available to send on IRC, you should read the RFC (a set of guidlines on how IRC works). This is available here http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1459.html
