$outputinfo()

• This function does not take any arguments; they are ignored.
• The return value is the current output display context
• The current output display context is the mechanism by which the program figures out what window output should go to.
• Throughout the entire client, the tuple (server refnum, lastlog level) can map to only one window (but perhaps not to any window).
• The current output display context is composed of two pieces of information:
• The current lastlog level
• The current target (nickname or channel)
• The current display target may not always be set
• The return value is the current output display context either as one word (if the current target is unset) or two words (if the current target is set)

If the current target is set, then you could use $querywin() or $chanwin() to figure out where an /echo would go. If the current target is not set, then you could use $levelwindow() to figure out where an /echo would go. But in either case, these two pieces of information are all you need to know to figure out where an /echo would send its output.

The current output display context, comprised of the current lastlog level and optionally the current target.

on msg "hop *" { eval echo $outputinfo() }
       Outputs "MSGS hop" because this is
       a MSGS and it is from hop
on public "% #epic *" { eval echo $outputinfo() }
       Outputs "PUBLIC #epic" beacuse this
       is a PUBLIC and it is to #epic.
on 432 * { eval echo $outputinfo() }
       Outputs "CRAP" because this is a
       miscelaneous message and is not
       related to a channel or other user.
