Synopsis: dcc [<command> [<arguments>]] Description: DCC stands for direct client-to-client. The DCC command handles all such connections. There are two primary uses for DCC; bypassing the irc network for chatting, and file transfers. However, this is not the limit of DCC's capabilities. DCC connections are established with CTCP handshakes. All this really means is that connection request, connection, and rejection messages are sent in CTCP format. This is noteworthy, as other commands that operate based on message type will lump DCC messages in with CTCPs (including IGNORE and the client's internal logging mechanisms). Aliases: Using DCC with no arguments is the same as DCC LIST. See Also: ctcp(1); on(5) dcc_connect, dcc_lost, dcc_request Restrictions: It is worth noting that users behind firewalls may have some problems using DCC. Depending on the nature of the firewall, such users will probably be unable to initiate a DCC SEND. Others may find that they cannot use DCC at all. This is not a bug in ircII-EPIC, it is due simply to matters beyond the control of the client program.
