lastlog

Synopsis:
lastlog [-] [-<flag>] [--<flag>] [pattern] [<number of entries> [<start>] ]

Description:
lastlog allows you to view messages that were on your screen at one time but have since scrolled off. This is convenient is you aren't on a terminal capable of maintaining its own scrollback buffer, or if you accidentally used clear before reading a message. lastlog only returns data saved in your client's lastlog buffer. This is limited by both your lastlog setting, which specifies how many lines to save, and the lastlog_level setting, which says what types of messages to save. It can return a specified number of lines, any lines which match a given pattern, or any combination. Additionally, the output can be limited to a specific type, and multiword patterns are allowed (by surrounding the whole thing in double quotes), as are wildcards. If the first argument is a single hyphen (-), the output will not be surrounded by "Lastlog:" and "End of Lastlog" messages.

Options:
-action CTCP ACTIONs
-all all qualifying levels
-crap anything not covered above
-ctcp CTCPs (except ACTIONs and DCC stuff)
-dcc DCC connection and status messages
-literal search for a literal string
-max <max> only returns <max> matches
-msg private messages
-note NOTEs
-notice NOTICEs
-opnote operator notifications
-public public channel conversation
-reverse display the log backwards; from the END to the BEGINNING
-snote server notices
-wall WALLs (deprecated since WALL is no longer supported)
-wallop WALLOPs
-userlog1 - 4 anything XECHOed under USERLOG1 -USERLOG4

A double hyphen in front of a flag disables the output of that level.
