- Usage: CTCP <nick> UTC <system time>
- This is primarily for robots to send date and time information
- to users and have it displayed in local time. The format of the
- UTC CTCP is:
- UTC number
- where number is the ASCII representation of the 32 bit
- integer representing the time as is used on UNIX machines.
- When IRCII receives this CTCP, it replaces the text of
- the local time expressed in the local language back into
- the original message. Thus if you send the following:
- NOTICE nick The time is ^AUTC 702777074^A
- The user might see:
- -yournick- The time is Thu Apr 9 09:51:14 1992
- (if their timezone is Australian Eastern Standard Time).
- Obviously you can use the $TIME() function here effectively.
