+ | ======Synopsis: | ||
+ | __stats__ < | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Description: | ||
+ | **IMPORTANT**: | ||
+ | before trying to use this command. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This asks the server for general purpose information. | ||
+ | data you can request is statistical in nature, but not most of it. | ||
+ | The most common data to request is information about the server' | ||
+ | configuration. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A " | ||
+ | on every server on the network. | ||
+ | operator; he appears as an operator only on his own server. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On ircnet servers, an " | ||
+ | client connections. | ||
+ | automatically bestows upon them user mode +r, which restricts what they | ||
+ | can do. See the [[MODE]] help page for more information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Options: | ||
+ | __STATS__ options are not preceded by a hyphen! | ||
+ | |||
+ | |c |C/N lines: A list of peer servers who may **C**onnect here. | | ||
+ | |h |H/L lines: For each peer, whether they are a **H**ub or Leaf server. | ||
+ | |k |K lines: A list of client userhosts who are auto-**k**illed (banned). | ||
+ | |i |I lines: A list of permitted **I**ncoming client connections. | ||
+ | |l | ||
+ | |m | ||
+ | |o |O lines: A list of clients permitted to become **O**perators. | ||
+ | |u | ||
+ | |y |Y lines: Special parameters governing each client and server connection. | ||
+ | |p | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Privacy: | ||
+ | __STATS__ usage is reported to opers on many servers. On servers which | ||
+ | report STATS queries, you may be questioned about the purposed of | ||
+ | these queries, or, in some cases, immediately banned (K-lined) from | ||
+ | the server. Reporting of __STATS__ queries originated at a time where | ||
+ | __STATS__ was regularly used to flood servers. Most servers now | ||
+ | ratelimit or otherwise restrict such queries, however many still report | ||
+ | them to opers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Restrictions: | ||
+ | For many reasons, the use of this command is now restricted in some | ||
+ | way on most servers. Information about how a server is configured | ||
+ | can (and often is) used to abuse the server. __STATS__ queries often | ||
+ | generate a lot of output, so they were used in many cases to make | ||
+ | a server flood itself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Restrictions you may encounter include: | ||
+ | - Some or all queries restricted to server operators. | ||
+ | - Some output restricted to server operators. | ||
+ | - Rate limiting. | ||
+ | - Restrictions on " | ||
+ | - Notification to server operators. (see Privacy section above). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Other Notes: | ||
+ | Many networks and server now support __STATS__ queries beyond those listed | ||
+ | here, however they are typically limited to server operators. | ||
