on note (removed)

Former synopsis

/on [<noise>]note "<pattern>" { <commands> }

Description

The note event formerly reported receipt of an IRC note and let scripts customize its display. EPIC6 has removed this named hook and the former incoming note-processing stage. It no longer generates a note event or supplies its historical message fields.

Former parameters

These describe the removed interface, not arguments generated by EPIC6.

Compatibility

Attempting to register /on note ... is rejected with No such ON function: NOTE. There is no built-in note-display action to customize or suppress through this event.

The separate note command remains in the command table as a generic server-command sender. It forwards its arguments to the IRC server; availability and responses depend on that server. Sending /note does not recreate the removed receive hook, local note parsing, or its timestamp fields.

Scripts integrating a server's note or service facility must handle the replies it actually sends through appropriate active message or numeric events. There is no universal replacement event with the former note arguments.

Source references

• KNOWNBUGS: records removal of the previously sunset note hook.
• source/hook.c: the named-hook table omits note; find_hook rejects unknown event names.
• include/hook.h: current event identifiers contain no note hook.
• source/parse.c: current incoming-command dispatch has no dedicated note handler.
• source/commands.c: the note command maps to send_comm, which forwards the command and arguments without generating a note event.
