ircII help - set/lastlog_level

Usage: SET LASTLOG_LEVEL [ALL|NONE|[-]<level> [-] ...]

The setting of this variable determines which types of messages are stored in the lastlog. If ALL is specified, everything that shows up on the screen is saved in the lastlog, except DCC mesages, which have to be explicitly set. eg, to get everything, use

    /SET LASTLOG_LEVEL DCC,ALL

. If NONE is specified, nothing is saved in the lastlog. The <level> specification can be one of the following:

    PUBLIC          Channel conversation
    MSGS            Private messages
    NOTICES         NOTICEs
    WALLS           WALLs
    WALLOPS         WALLOPs
    NOTE            NOTEs
    OPNOTES         Operator notifications
    SNOTES          Server notices
    ACTIONS         In and outgoing CTCP ACTION lines
    USERLOG1        Reserved for the user
    USERLOG2        Reserved for the user
    USERLOG3        Reserved for the user
    USERLOG4        Reserved for the user
    DCC             DCC connections
    BEEP            Beeps
    HELP            Any help text
    CRAP            Anything not covered by the above categories

You can combine these on a command line to make the lastlog save just what you want. Also, by putting a - before any level, you remove that one from the list. For example, if you wish to save everything except NOTEs and all that CRAP, you could do:

    SET LASTLOG_LEVEL ALL -NOTE -CRAP

which is the same as doing:

    SET LASTLOG_LEVEL PUBLIC MSG NOTICE WALL WALLOP OPNOTES ACTIONS SNOTES
