Line 1: Line 1:
 +======Synopsis:======
 +[[set]] default_realname [<text>]
 +
 +======Description:======
 +If set, the client will use the value of this variable as its IRCNAME
 +when connecting to new servers.  The variable may be set to anything
 +desired, including nothing.  If unset, the client will use the value
 +in the environment variable IRCNAME, or failing that, the value in
 +the user's GCOS field in the system password file.
 +
 +======Aliases:======
 +Traditionally, the client has provided the realname command and this
 +setting, but the realname command is obsolete and should not be used.
 +
 +======Other Notes:======
 +The nature of irc servers is such that this information cannot be
 +changed on the fly.  The client must establish a connection with a new
 +server (or [[reconnect]] to the current one) for the setting to take
 +effect.
 +
 +======History:======
 +This first appeared in EPIC5-0.3.5.  Prior to this, it was called 
 +[[set realname]].
