$mask returns the address with a mask of the specified type.

Synopsis

$mask(address,type)

Parameters

• address - The address you want the mask of.
• type - The type of address, a positive integer between 1-19:
  • 0: *!user@host
  • 1: *!*user@host
  • 2: *!*@host
  • 3: *!*user@*.host
  • 4: *!*@*.host
  • 5: nick!user@host
  • 6: nick!*user@host
  • 7: nick!*@host
  • 8: nick!*user@*.host
  • 9: nick!*@*.host

Type 10-19 are same as types 0-9 except asterisks in host are expanded to the text they replaced, then all numbers are replaced by question marks.

Masks are case-insensitive and assigned by the internet provider, but IRC servers often provide user mode +x to help disguise them.

Properties

//echo -a $mask(nick!user@host,7)
