$nick - the user's nick to display the info. The BOT will check if this person has an user or not on BOT. If it has no user - the BOT will announce you about. Sometimes it may happen that there is already an user on BOT with same name as the nick on channel, but the user's host does not correspond to the nick's host currently on channel. In this case the BOT will warn you, that there is already an user on BOT with same name as nick but with a different host. If you are sure that the nick on channel is the same person as the BOT's current user - use the parameter "-now" to enforce the BOT to say the info. Another option in this case, which is more secure - you can ask the person to
authorise on BOT - in order to have the new host registered & to be recognised by BOT.
$user - user on BOT to display the info.
-now - enforce the BOT to say the info when there is an user which host does not correspond to the curent nick on channel.
-info - enforce the BOT to say the info details about a global admin (global +v access level requireed).
