# $mask Retrieves the host mask of a user
Usage
    $mask[(<nickname>[,<mask_type>])]
Description
Returns the specified type of mask for the user with <nickname>. If the host or username are not known, the mask may contain less information than requested. If the <nickname> is not given it is assumed to be the current nickname. If <mask_type> is not given or is invalid, it is assumed to be 0. Available mask types: 0 : nick!user@machine.host.top (nick!user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) (default) 1 : nick!user@*.abc.host.top (nick!user@XXX.XXX.XXX.*) 2 : nick!user@* 3 : nick!*@machine.host.top (nick!user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) 4 : nick!*@*.abc.host.top (nick!user@XXX.XXX.XXX.*) 5 : nick!*@* 6 : *!user@machine.host.top (*!user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XX) 7 : *!user@*.abc.host.top (*!user@XXX.XXX.XXX.*) 8 : *!user@* 9 : *!*@machine.host.top (*!*@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) 10: *!*@*.abc.host.top (*!*@XXX.XXX.XXX.*) 11: nick!*user@machine.host.top (nick!*user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) 12: nick!*user@*.abc.host.top (nick!*user@XXX.XXX.XXX.*) 13: nick!*user@* 14: *!*user@machine.host.top (*!*user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) 15: *!*user@*.abc.host.top (*!*user@XXX.XXX.XXX.*) 16: *!*user@* 17: nick!~user@*.host.top (nick!~user@XXX.XXX.*) 18: nick!*@*.host.top (nick!*@XXX.XXX.*) 19: *!~user@*.host.top (*!~user@XXX.XXX.*) 20: nick!*user@*.host.top (nick!*user@XXX.XXX.*) 21: *!*user@*.host.top (*!user@*XXX.XXX.*) 22: nick!~user@*.host.top (nick!~user@XXX.XXX.*) 23: nick!*@*.host.top (nick!*@XXX.XXX.*) 24: *!~user@*.host.top (*!~user@XXX.XXX.*) 25: nick!*user@*.host.top (nick!*user@XXX.XXX.*) 26: *!*user@*.host.top (*!user@*XXX.XXX.*) If some data is missing, these types may change: For example, if the hostname is missing, the mask type 3 or 4 may be reduced to type 5. If the user with <nickname> is not found in the current IRC context user database, an empty string is returned. The masks 22-26 are the smart versions of the masks 17-21 that try take care of masked ip addresses in the form xxx.xxx.INVALID-TOP-MASK. If a masked ip address is found then the XXX.XXX.* or XXX.* host mask is returned instead of the (wrong) *.INVALID-TOP-MASK
