# avatar

Sends a CTCP AVATAR message

Syntax

    avatar [-t=<timeout>] [-u] [-q] <target> [new_avatar]

Description

Sends a CTCP AVATAR message to the specified <target>.
See the avatar protocol documentation for the description of the protocol.
This has the effect to notify your avatar image to the <target>.
The CTCP is sent thru a NOTICE and the current avatar image is added to the public offer list for <timeout> seconds (or a default timeout if the -t switch is not used).
If the -q switch is specified, the command executes in quet mode and prints nothing in the current window.
Optionally this command can set your current avatar to the designated by [new_avatar] that must be a relative or absolute path to an image or an url (actually only http urls are supported).
If you don't have an avatar set, the ctcp will unset the previous avatar on the target side.
If you use the -u switch , [new_avatar] will be ignored and the current avatar will be unset (then the remote side will be informed).
Warning: The implementation of the avatar protocol is actually restricted to KVIrc clients only. In the future other clients may implement it.
This command is connection dependant.
