- Synopsis:
- set 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:
- Setting this variable is essentially equivalent to using the REALNAME
- command.
-
- See Also:
- Environment(7); realname(4); reconnect(1); server(1)
-
- 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.
