- Synopsis:
- realname [<text>]
-
- Description:
- REALNAME is used to set the client's IRCNAME (hence the alias, below).
- The IRCNAME is an arbitrary text string that is displayed in WHOIS and
- WHO output. Typically it contains the user's real name, but it may
- contain anything the user desires. Use of this command will override
- any previous setting to REALNAME, as well as the $IRCNAME environment
- variable (if set).
-
- Aliases:
- IRCNAME is functionally equivalent to REALNAME.
-
- See Also:
- Environment(7); reconnect(1); set(4) realname
-
- Restrictions:
- This command does not change the IRCNAME on the fly. The client must
- disconnect and reconnect to a server before it will take effect.
