NickServ commands
Every NickServ command, with its help text.
Operators only. This section is for IRC operators.
| Command | What it is for |
|---|---|
| ACC | This command checks if users own the nicknames they are currently using. After using the acc command, services will reply with the user's access level. |
| ACCESS | This command is used to add, delete and list access masks. If a user matches an entry in the access list, he/she won't need to identify to use the nick. The person will have acc level 1. |
| AUTH | This command is used for adding a nickname, or channel privilege to your buddy/watch list. |
| BUDDY | This command will have NickServ manage your BUDDY list. A Buddy list is the same as a watch list and similar to a notify list. |
| DROP | This is the opposite of register, it releases a nick you own. When you drop a nick you also lose any rooms for which it was listed as the founder. |
| GHOST | If you have become disconnected, but your client is still online, you can use the ghost command to disconnect the client. |
| HELP | This command will provide online help for NickServ. You may use it without any parameters to get a list of topics you can get help on. |

| INFO | Used to view all available information on a registered nick. |
| LISTCHANS | This will give you a list of all the rooms you or the specified nickname has an access level to and tell you what access. If no nick is given, it will give you the list for the nick you are using. |
| RECOVER | If another user is using your nick and you haven't turned nick protect on, you can use this command to disconnect the user and recover your nick. |
| REGISTER | Registers your nickname with NickServ. After registering your nickname you will always be able to use it. Other people can use it without getting access to your ops or memos unless you set protect on. |
| RELEASE | This command will release a nick which is being held by a nick enforcr. An enforcer will go away in two minutes if release is not used. |
