The $false identifier represents a false truth value in mIRC. Typically the $false identifier is returned as result of a request that failed or a negative answer such as when $away is not set or if a file doesn't exist when checked via the $exists() identifier. The $false identifier is most commonly used in conjunction with conditional statements.

When $false is negated via the ! negation operator, it becomes $true.

Example

alias example {
  var %foo = $false
 
  ; check negating $false yield $true
  if (!%foo) echo -a % $+ foo is false!
 
  ; checked against $false
  if (%foo == $false) echo -a % $+ foo is false!
}
