# 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.
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.
