+ | ======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+ | setting, but the realname command is obsolete and should not be used.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]]. | ||
