A Guide to InspIRCd and Atheme Commands

The easiest method of comprehension may be in the bullet form, and that is how I shall present these commands. All commands will be preceded with a slash (/) and the colon omitted. Atheme commands differ from InspIRCd commands. They must be sent to the corresponding *serv in order for the commands to be executed.
