4 Usage: who [o][r][f][a][R][U][s][b][L][A][l][t][v][n][1-3][B]
6 Displays a list of users who are connected to the server according to the
7 parameters you give. Typing "who" alone, without any arguments, will list all
8 users according to their blitz ratings.
12 r: Only players for rated matches.
13 f: Only free players (not playing a game).
14 a: Only available players (open & free).
15 R: Only registered players.
16 U: Only unregistered players.
17 #: Only the top (1), middle (2) or lower (3) third of users.
18 B: Only users with bughouse partners set.
24 A: Lists players alphabetically.
25 l: Same as above but without rating/game info. [lower case "L"]
32 For example, "who aRsA" would display an alphabetical listing (A) of
33 registered players (R) who are available for matches (a) along with their
34 ratings from games using standard time controls (s). NOTE: both the capital
35 letters and the order of the options are important, but you *may* use spaces
36 between the various letters.
39 THE REGULAR (terse) DISPLAY
41 The following table is an example of what the "who" request will display.
42 (Only a portion of a much larger listing is given here.)
44 2255^OldManII(C) 1879 Chopin 1625:Flash 1251:Juan
45 2163 Heringer 1838^asu 1612 Lesiege ---- Jerard
46 2099^AmacaballoFat 1799^Kael 1587:Boutros ----:Tomato(TD)

49 2072 death(FM) 1760:Tsang 1555.billard ++++.beto
51 The format is <rating> <status> <handle>.
53 Rating: Only one set of ratings are displayed -- the default is blitz unless
54 another rating is requested. The entry ---- means this user is registered
55 but does not have a rating for this type of chess. The entry ++++ means
56 that the user is unregistered and thus has no rating.
60 ~ running a simul match
61 : not open for a match
63 . inactive for 5 minutes or longer
71 TD Tournament Director program
72 FM/IM/GM titles for international chess masters
77 The following table shows sample entries from a "who v" request -- where the
78 "v" means "verbose" style of the "who" command. A complete display, of
79 course, would be rather long ... one line for each user logged on who fits the
80 parameters of the who request..
82 +---------------------------------------------------------------+
83 | User Standard Blitz On for Idle |
84 +---------------------------------------------------------------+
85 | 22 OldManII 2172 2256 4:09 |

98 X -- not open for games
99 u -- open for unrated games only
100 U -- unregistered player
101 <name> -- the player's "handle"
102 Standard rating -- the player's rating from standard games
103 Blitz rating -- the player's rating from blitz games
104 On for -- (in hours/minutes) how long the player has been on
105 Idle -- (in hours/minutes) how the player has been idle
106 Players Displayed -- the number of current users fitting the who request
109 THE WIN-LOSS RECORD DISPLAY
111 The format for the win-loss record display is simple. Here is an example:
113 Name Stand win loss draw Blitz win loss draw idle
114 ---------------- ----- ------------- ----- ------------- ----
115 <user> ---- 0 0 0 2018 92 56 26 10
117 The order is again by blitz, unless specified otherwise. This information
118 is also available on an individual basis by using the "finger" command.
