$ischannel(<channel name>)
Some scripts like to prefix the # character to a channel name if you try to join a channel that isn't valid, as a shortcut. Such as:
alias join (channel, ...) { if (ischannel($channel)) { //join $channel $* } else { //join #$channel $* } }
1 if the argument is a valid name for a channel 0 if not.
$ischannel(#blah) returns true $ischannel(&blah) returns true $ischannel(blah) returns false
