+ | ======Special Topic: | ||
+ | A server has several pieces of data that identify it | ||
+ | |||
+ | | Refnum | ||
+ | | Our Name | The hostname you provided in the server description | | ||
+ | | Its Name | The name the server refers to itself as on irc | | ||
+ | | Group | The (local) group name you put the server into | | ||
+ | | Alt names | Any alternate name you have given the server | | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are many places you provide a " | ||
+ | the above rules to convert what you provide into a refnum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you provide a number, it refers to the server with that refnum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Otherwise, scans all of the servers that are open from the lowest refnum | ||
+ | to the highest refnum, and looks to see if what you provided wildcard | ||
+ | matches any of the above pieces of data. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If none of the open servers match, it then scans all of the closed servers | ||
+ | from lowest refnum to highest refnum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If none of the closed servers match, then what you provided does not refer | ||
+ | to a server. | ||
+ | be added to the server list, assigned a new refnum, and that refnum will | ||
+ | be used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please remember, if more than one server shares the same piece of data | ||
+ | (for example, you are connected to " | ||
+ | and you ask for " | ||
+ | same group and you refer to that group), then the one with the lowest refnum | ||
+ | wins. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please remember that any of the above pieces of data is considered acceptable | ||
+ | to match. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please remember that wildcards are always accepted! | ||
