## Description

This is the main IRC slash command and controls most things related to IRC communication. All the commands below must be entered after you have connected with */iconnect*.

* **help:** Show a list of commands that can be issued after /i.
* **nick:** Change your nick to *name*.
* **join:** Join the channel *#channel*. The channel must have a # in front of it.
* **part:** Leave *#channel*. If no channel is given, it will leave the last-joined channel.
* **whois:** Display information available on *nickname*.
* **msg:** Send a directed message of "*text*" to *nickname*. This is the IRC equivalent of a tell.
* **say:** Speak "*text*" in the current channel. This *text* will be visible to everyone in the channel.
* **raw:** Send *command* to the server. This is useful for other IRC commands that are not available with /i (eg. "/i

  raw list" to list all channels on the server).
* **quit:** Leave the server (same as the IRC command /quit).
* **names:** List all nicknames on the current channel.
* **x:** *Not sure*.
