Server Commands/NICK

Syntax: NICK <nickname>

When first connecting to the IRC server, NICK is required to set the client's nickname.

NICK will also change the client's nickname once a connection has been established. The server prevents rapid nickname changes. If you try to change nicknames often within a short period of time, the server will return an error message asking that you wait a specified time before trying again.
