mIRC Commands are a set of built-in routines that can be used to manipulate various properties of mIRC, IRC, as well as operate network sockets, perform I/O operations, and various other things.

Presently undocumented or deprecated commands are indicated in italics. A command is undocumented if it doesn't reasonably appear in the current help.chm, but may appear in the versions.txt

Redundant commands

These are commands were either added because they are commonly found in other IRC clients, or have been deprecated in favor of new commands but are left for convenience.

• /action -> /me
• /auto -> /aop
• /clearial -> /ialclear
• /closemsg -> /close -m
• /quote -> /raw
• /username -> /fullname

Removed commands

Eight commands have been deprecated and completely removed from mIRC.

• /add
• /closechats
• /closedccs
• /closefserves
• /commands
• /philosophy
• /wavplay
• /maxdepth

Easter Eggs commands

There are currently two easter egg commands. Each simply displays a message. Incidentally, the message can be suppressed with the dot '.' prefix, effectively making a /noop command.

• /fnord echos Nothing to see here. (in white-on-white text) A reference to the books Principia Discordia (1965) and The Illuminatus! Trilogy (1975).
• /xyzzy echos Nothing happens. A reference to the game ADVENT, Colossal Cave Adventure (1976-77) and the Jargon File (1983): The [New] Hacker's Dictionary (1991, 1996).
• /philosophy (mIRC 6.1 only) echos Korben: At least I won lunch. and Mr. Kim: Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like! A reference to the movie The Fifth Element (1997).
• /finger is not an easter egg per se, but is a retired command that does nothing and behaves like /noop. Not removed, technically speaking.
