WHO

WHO [<pattern>]
DOING [<pattern>]

For mortals, the WHO command displays a list of players currently connected to the MUSH, the amount of time they’ve been connected, their idle time, and their @doing. Hidden players are not shown.

For admin, WHO shows the names of online players, their location, connection/idle times, the number of commands typed through the connection, the descriptor/port number, and the host the player is connected from. A letter after the descriptor marks the connection type: S (SSL), L (local), or W (WebSocket, which is how the website’s terminal connects). A website connection’s host is the player’s own address, the same one @sitelock rules are matched against. It also includes hidden players, and connections which are at the login screen, but have not yet connected to a player.

Admin can use the DOING command to see the same output mortals see with WHO, with the exception that dark/hidden players are included.

If a <pattern> is given for either command, only connected players whose names start with <pattern> are shown. If <pattern> is a wildcard, only players whose names or aliases match the pattern are shown.

Softcoded WHO integration

Existing games which have softcoded ‘who’ commands can maintain separation from ‘WHO’ by using an @hook/ignore on the WHO command, such as:

> &HOOK`WHO <object>=not(comp(left(%c,3),WHO))
> @hook/ignore WHO=<object>,HOOK`WHO

@hooks are not maintained across reboots, and should be placed into an @startup on a low-dbref object.

Note: The WHO command available at the login screen is totally separate from the in-game WHO command, and is not affected by any changes to the in-game WHO.
