======Synopsis:======
__userip__ [<nickname> [<nickname> ...] [-cmd <command>]]

======Description:======
This __userip__ command is identical to the [[userhost
command|userhost]] command except that the server will return the
dotted-quad address (ie, 127.0.0.1) instead of the Fully Qualified Host
Name (FQHN, ie, "irc.acronet.net").  

This command is available on undernet-type servers, and hybrid-type
servers.  A VERY LONG time ago, hybrid used to use [[USRIP]] which
also still works, but that hasn't been the case for a while.  If this
command fails, give [[USRIP]] a try.

======Options:======
   -cmd      take the output from /userip as input to other commands
   -direct   force /userip to query the server
