Commands
--------

.. _command-misc-apropos:

apropos <string>
  Searches for <string> in the commands currently offered by the bot, returning a list of the commands containing that string.

.. _command-misc-clearmores:

clearmores takes no arguments
  Clears all mores for the current network.

.. _command-misc-completenick:

completenick [<channel>] <beginning> [--match-case]
  Returns the nick of someone on the channel whose nick begins with the given <beginning>. <channel> defaults to the current channel.

.. _command-misc-help:

help [<plugin>] [<command>]
  This command gives a useful description of what <command> does. <plugin> is only necessary if the command is in more than one plugin. You may also want to use the 'list' command to list all available plugins and commands.

.. _command-misc-last:

last [--{from,in,on,with,without,regexp} <value>] [--nolimit]
  Returns the last message matching the given criteria. --from requires a nick from whom the message came; --in requires a channel the message was sent to; --on requires a network the message was sent on; --with requires some string that had to be in the message; --regexp requires a regular expression the message must match; --nolimit returns all the messages that can be found. By default, the channel this command is given in is searched.

.. _command-misc-list:

list [--private] [--unloaded] [<plugin>]

.. _command-misc-more:

more [<nick>]
  If the last command was truncated due to IRC message length limitations, returns the next chunk of the result of the last command. If <nick> is given, it takes the continuation of the last command from <nick> instead of the person sending this message.
