## Message history commands
## Message-history/user-tracking commands
Message history has an advanced user tracking algorithm in order to ensure that
messages are being stored in the right message history accounts. The following commands
query and manipulate the message history account links.
Note that "message history account" and "PBot user account" are distinct accounts.
### recall
The `recall` command queries the message history and displays matching results.
Usage: `recall [nick [history [channel]]] [-c <channel>] [-t <text>] [-b <context before>] [-a <context after>] [-x <filter to nick>] [-n <count>] [-r raw mode] [+ ...]`
You can chain multiple recalls together with the `+` operator.
Option | Description
--- | ---
`-c <channel>` | Filter to messages only in `<channel>`
`-t <text>` | Filter to messages containing `<text>`
`-b <context before>` | Show `<context before>` (integral) count messages appearing immediately before matching messages
`-a <context after>` | Show `<context after>` (integral) count messages appearing immediately after matching messages
`-x <filter to nick>` | Filter messages to only those spoken by `<filter to nick>`
`-n <count>` | Limit results to `<count>` (integral); implies `-x`
`-r` | Show only the message without any nickname or timestamp prefixes
Examples:
<pragma-> hello
<garp> hi there
<john> hey
<pragma-> PBot: recall garp
<PBot> [20s ago] <garp> hi there
<pragma> PBot: recall garp -b1 -a1
<PBot> [35s ago] <pragma-> hello [20s ago] <garp> hi there [10s ago] <john> hey
<pragma> PBot: recall -t hey
<PBot> [10s ago] <john> hey
### id
The `id` command lists various user-tracking and user-account metadata about a user hostmask.
Usage: `id [nickname | hostmask | message account id]`
If no argument is provided, your own id information will be shown. The `hostmask` form accepts wildcards.
The `message account id` form is an integer.
Examples:
<pragma-> id
<PBot> pragma- (pragma-!~chaos@user/pragmatic-chaos): user id: 2; user account: pragma- (logged in); NickServ: pragma-
<pragma-> id pragma-
<PBot> pragma- (pragma-!~chaos@user/pragmatic-chaos): user id: 2; user account: pragma- (logged in); NickServ: pragma-
