Synopsis:
dcc close [<type>|-all|*] [<nick>|-all|*] [“<filename>”]
Description:
DCC CLOSE cancels a DCC session:
- For DCC SEND, it rescinds the offer to send a file
- For DCC GET, it rejects our interest in receiving the file
- For DCC CHAT, it closes the dedicated chat connection
- For $connect(), it closes the raw client socket connection
- For $listen(), it closes the listening socket (but not any connections)
- For a file transfer in progress, it terminates the transfer early.
| The <type> argument is one of: | |
|---|---|
| CHAT | for private one-to-one conversations |
| SEND | for outbound file transfers |
| GET | for inbound file transfers |
| RAW | for $connect()s or $listen()s |
| -ALL | for all DCCs of all of the above types |
| * | same as -ALL |
The <nick> argument is the name of the peer, as shown in the DCC LIST output. It may be -ALL or * to match all DCCs of the given <type>.
<filename> may be in double quotes, if it contains spaces. <filename> is only necessary for DCC SEND or DCC GET connections.
If you do not provide <filename> and there are multiple connections of a given <type> to <nick> open, the first such connection is closed.
There is no wildcard support for <type>, <nick>, or <filename>.
When you DCC CLOSE a pending connection (either an offer you have made to someone else, or an offer someone has made to you, but which has not been accepted), it is considered a DCC REJECT and a CTCP reply to the other peer will be send to notify them the connection will not be completed.
If someone is sending you a file, you want to DCC CLOSE GET <nick> and if you are sending someone a file, you want to DCC CLOSE SEND <nick>.
If you exit the client, all of your open DCC connections are closed.
On some older versions of EPIC, doing DCC CLOSE from within an ON related to a DCC event could cause a crash. Be careful about closing a DCC that is currently being processed.
Examples:
To close an existing DCC CHAT connection with bob:
/dcc close chat bob
To reject an incoming DCC SEND connection from bob:
/dcc close get bob
To close all DCC CHAT connections:
/dcc close chat *
or
/dcc close chat -all
To close all DCC connections with or offered by bob:
/dcc close * bob
or
/dcc close -all bob
History:
The DCC CLOSE command first appeared in ircII-2.1.2
