Places
A place can be a chatroom, a newsfeed or any other entity which offers some special multicast messages or events.
By default, messages of all kinds of methods are submitted to a place for redistribution in form of a unicast to it. It is sufficient to provide a _target to this purpose. Example:
| :_target psyc://example.org/@kitchen :_source psyc://example.net/~dj :_action spins _message Hey, it's much nicer in the living room, won't you come over? |
Place command requests
| _request... | variables | equivalent command |
|---|---|---|
| _kick | _person | /kick |
| _nick | _nick_local (masquerade) | /nick |
| _set_masquerade | _flag_masquerade | /masq(uerade) |
| _set_owners | _list_owners | /owners |
| _set_public | _flag_public | /public |
| _set_style | _uniform_style | /style |
| _show_log | _match _amount _parameter | /history |
The _target MUST be aimed at a place (consider however, places potentially provide differing choices of methods). If your request is to be performed on behalf of an identity not identical to the source (typically the case for a client or external tool) you need to provide a _source_identification.
These _requests can be replied to using any method. The packet tags SHOULD be used to detect whether a request failed or to get the reply of the request.
