+Special Variables and Expandos
+
+Irssi supports a number of reserved, dynamic variables, sometimes
+referred to as expandos. They are special in that the client is
+constantly updating their values automatically. There are also
+numerous variable modifiers available.
+
+ Modifier Description
+ $variable A normal variable, expanding to the first match of:
+ | 1) an internal SET variable
+ | 2) an environment variable
+ $[num]variable Expands to the variables value, with 'num' width. If
+ | the number is negative, the value is right-aligned.
+ | The value is padded to meet the width with the
+ | character given after number (default is space).
+ | The value is truncated to specified width unless
+ | '!' character precedes the number.
+ $#variable Expands to the number of words in $variable. If $variable
+ | is omitted, it assumes $*
+ $@variable Expands to the number of characters in $variable. if
+ | $variable is omitted, it assumes $*
+ $($subvariable) This is somewhat similar to a pointer, in that the
+ | value of $subvar is taken as the name of the
+ | variable to expand to. Nesting is allowed.
+ ${expression} Permits the value to be embedded in another string
+ | unambiguously.
+! $!history! Expands to a matching entry in the client's command
+ | history, wildcards allowed.
+! $"some text" Uses 'text' as an input prompt, and returns whatever
+ | is typed next. This usage is deprecated, use the
+ | INPUT command instead.
+! $'some text' Same as $"text" except that it only returns the first
+ | next typed character.
+
+Whenever an alias is called, these expandos are set to the arguments passed
+to it. If none of these expandos are used in the alias, or the $() form
+shown above, any arguments passed will automatically be appended to the last
+command in the alias.
+
+ Expando Description
+ $* expands to all arguments passed to an alias
+ $n expands to argument 'n' passed to an alias (counting from zero)
+ $n-m expands to arguments 'n' through 'm' passed to an alias
+ $n- expands to all arguments from 'n' on passed to an alias
+ $-m expands to all arguments up to 'm' passed to an alias
+ $~ expands to the last argument passed to an alias
+
+These variables are set and updated dynamically by the client. The case of
+$A .. $Z is important.
+
+ Variable Description
+! $, last person who sent you a MSG
+! $. last person to whom you sent a MSG
+! $: last person to join a channel you are on
+! $; last person to send a public message to a channel you are on
+ $A text of your AWAY message, if any
+! $B body of last MSG you sent
+ $C current channel
+! $D last person that NOTIFY detected a signon for
+! $E idle time
+! $F time client was started, $time() format
+! $H current server numeric being processed
+! $I channel you were last INVITEd to
+ $J client version text string
+ $K current value of CMDCHARS
+! $L current contents of the input line
+ $M modes of current channel, if any
+ $N current nickname
+! $O value of STATUS_OPER if you are an irc operator
+ $P if you are a channel operator in $C, expands to a '@'
+ $Q nickname of whomever you are QUERYing
+! $R version of current server
+ $S current server name
+ $T target of current input (channel or QUERY nickname)
+! $U value of cutbuffer
+! $V client release date (numeric version string)
+ $W current working directory
+! $X your /userhost $N address (user@host)
+ $Y value of REALNAME
+ $Z time of day (hh:mm)
+ $$ a literal '$'
+
+For example, assume you have the following alias:
+
+ alias blah msg $D Hi there!
+
+If /blah is passed any arguments, they will automatically be appended to the
+MSG text. For example:
+
+ /blah oops /* command as entered */
+ "Hi there! oops" /* text sent to $D */
+
+Another useful form is ${}. In general, variables can be embedded inside
+strings without problems, assuming the surrounding text could not be
+misinterpreted as part of the variable name. This form guarantees that
+surrounding text will not affect the expression's return value.
+
+ /eval echo foo$Nfoo /* breaks, looks for $nfoo */
+ /eval echo foo${N}foo /* ${N} returns current nickname */
+ fooYourNickfoo /* returned by above command */
+
