For an operator, the syntax is:
- GLINE [[+|-]<mask> [[<target>] <expiration> :<reason>]]
+ GLINE [[!][+|-]<mask> [[<target>] <expiration> :<reason>]]
If <mask> is not given, or if it is not prefixed by "+" or "-", the
operation is exactly the same as if it were issued by an ordinary
a prefix of "+" will cause an inactive G-line to be activated, whereas
a prefix of "-" will cause an active G-line to be deactivated. If an
attempt is made to modify a G-line set by a U-lined service such as
-Uworld, the change will be forced to be local.
+Uworld, the change will be forced to be local. If the mask would not
+be permitted due to it being too wide or affecting too many users
+(governed by the GLINEMAXUSERCOUNT feature), the "!" prefix may be
+used to force the G-line to be set anyway.
If the G-line does not already exist, it is created. The <target>
parameter is used to select whether the G-line is only to apply to a
problems, for instance. The <expiration> parameter is a number of
seconds, not to exceed 7 days, for the G-line to exist. The <reason>
argument is mandatory and should describe why this particular G-line
-was placed.
+was placed. The <mask> parameter must be a user@host mask; the host
+component must contain at least 2 non-wildcarded subdomains or, if it
+is an IP address, at least 16 bits. Normally, the host component may
+not contain *any* wildcards, but that can be overridden with the "!"
+prefix, as indicated above, if the operator has the WIDE_GLINE
+privilege.
For a server, the syntax is:
projects / ircu2.10.12-pk.git / blobdiff
