+who
+
+Usage: who [o][r][f][a][R][U][s][b][L][A][l][t][v][n][1-3][B]
+
+ Displays a list of users who are connected to the server according to the
+parameters you give. Typing "who" alone, without any arguments, will list all
+users according to their blitz ratings.
+
+USERS TO DISPLAY
+ o: Only open players.
+ r: Only players for rated matches.
+ f: Only free players (not playing a game).
+ a: Only available players (open & free).
+ R: Only registered players.
+ U: Only unregistered players.
+ #: Only the top (1), middle (2) or lower (3) third of users.
+ B: Only users with bughouse partners set.
+
+ORDER OF DISPLAY
+ s: Standard rating.
+ b: Blitz rating.
+ L: Lightning rating.
+ A: Lists players alphabetically.
+ l: Same as above but without rating/game info. [lower case "L"]
+
+FORMAT OF DISPLAY
+ t: Terse.
+ v: Verbose.
+ n: Win-loss record.
+
+ For example, "who aRsA" would display an alphabetical listing (A) of
+registered players (R) who are available for matches (a) along with their
+ratings from games using standard time controls (s). NOTE: both the capital
+letters and the order of the options are important, but you *may* use spaces
+between the various letters.
+
+
+THE REGULAR (terse) DISPLAY
+
+ The following table is an example of what the "who" request will display.
+(Only a portion of a much larger listing is given here.)
+
+2255^OldManII(C) 1879 Chopin 1625:Flash 1251:Juan
+2163 Heringer 1838^asu 1612 Lesiege ---- Jerard
+2099^AmacaballoFat 1799^Kael 1587:Boutros ----:Tomato(TD)
+2084^Torr 1783:GARP 1572^chessnut ++++:arc
+2074:loon(*) 1774:grimm 1556#jethro ++++^ASESINO
+2072 death(FM) 1760:Tsang 1555.billard ++++.beto
+
+ The format is <rating> <status> <handle>.
+
+Rating: Only one set of ratings are displayed -- the default is blitz unless
+ another rating is requested. The entry ---- means this user is registered
+ but does not have a rating for this type of chess. The entry ++++ means
+ that the user is unregistered and thus has no rating.
+
+Status codes:
+ ^ involved in a game
+ ~ running a simul match
+ : not open for a match
+ # examining a game
+ . inactive for 5 minutes or longer
+ not busy
+
+Special handle codes:
+ * admin
+ B blindfold account
+ C computer account
+ T team account
+ TD Tournament Director program
+ FM/IM/GM titles for international chess masters
+
+
+THE VERBOSE DISPLAY
+
+ The following table shows sample entries from a "who v" request -- where the
+"v" means "verbose" style of the "who" command. A complete display, of
+course, would be rather long ... one line for each user logged on who fits the
+parameters of the who request..
+
+ +---------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | User Standard Blitz On for Idle |
+ +---------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | 22 OldManII 2172 2256 4:09 |
+ | 40 u Torr ---- 2084 14 |
+ | X loon 2015 2074 11 |
+ | 35 Chopin ---- 1879 4 |
+ | Xu Juan 1336 1251 20 19 |
+ | 4 U ASESINO ++++ ++++ 18 |
+ | |
+ | 95 Players Displayed |
+ +---------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Going from left to right in the display:
+
+ ## -- the number of the game the user is playing
+ X -- not open for games
+ u -- open for unrated games only
+ U -- unregistered player
+ <name> -- the player's "handle"
+ Standard rating -- the player's rating from standard games
+ Blitz rating -- the player's rating from blitz games
+ On for -- (in hours/minutes) how long the player has been on
+ Idle -- (in hours/minutes) how the player has been idle
+ Players Displayed -- the number of current users fitting the who request
+
+
+THE WIN-LOSS RECORD DISPLAY
+
+ The format for the win-loss record display is simple. Here is an example:
+
+Name Stand win loss draw Blitz win loss draw idle
+---------------- ----- ------------- ----- ------------- ----
+<user> ---- 0 0 0 2018 92 56 26 10
+
+ The order is again by blitz, unless specified otherwise. This information
+is also available on an individual basis by using the "finger" command.
