Have you ever wondered what all that junk in a /VERSION reply actually meant? Well, let's take a look.
NOTE: For the purpose of this guide, we are only concerned with the first line of the reply. A local /VERSION will also return a 005 numeric reply, which shows what features and modes are supported by the server.
Example /VERSION reply:
u2.10.11.07+ircd-darenet(1.2.0a)+[18 2008-10-11]. dev3.darenet.org B27AeEFfHIKMpSUvZ
So, let's break this down:
In This Guide: |
