who

Name

who - complete information on who is online

Syntax

who [verbose|[filter 1, filter 2, ...][& filter 3, filter 4, ...]...]

Description

When used with no parameters who gives a short list of who is online.

When used with the 'verbose' parameter it gives the long information about who is online, shows their status, their guild rank and any other pertinent information.

Optionally you can provide a list of filters in which case only members of the filter you give are listed. For a list of the various filters see below. If you specify a '-' in front of the name of the filter (ie: -creator) then it will show the members that are not in that filter list.

You can show an intersection of people on as well using the '&' connector. So 'who killers & thieves' would show all the player killer thieves.
