I have looked hard for the answer to this and can't find it. But, I am sure it's going to be a simple solution.

I am trying to write a simple script that will only accept input from users that have channel flag +o.
The input must be sent via a PRIVMSG. The user might or might not be actually opped (channel mode +o) when they send the PRIVMSG, but they will be in the channel and IDENT'd to the bot.

I know I can do something like this:

bind msg o|o qban msg:qban

and then:

proc msg:qban {nick host handle stuff} {
code here
}

But, as I understand it, that won't really test the channel flag for the nick.

I can easily extract the channel name and user name from the string in "stuff" but, how can I test the users nick for channel flags?

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, I think you're looking at the wrong kind of binding..
msg bindings are used for user-to-user messages, not user-to-channel messages. As such, there is no channel information related to the message.

Or were you thinking of forcing the user to supply the channel name in the message? If so, extract the channel from the message, and use the matchattr command to test the privileges.

As for the flags-mask, the syntax is "globalflags[(&|)[channelflags[(&|)botflags]]]", where & specifies that all flags must match, and | any flag will be sufficient. For applications that does not provide a channelname, the channelflags part is tested against any/all channels.

A few examples of different "flag-masks". I've used bindings here, but they could easily be swapped for the matchattr command (msg binding would be equivalent of omitting the channel argument, pub would be including it).

That's exactly what I was looking for
