Nodes

This command gives information about the distant nodes that this node thinks it can get to. With no parameter, it shows the alias and callsign of all the nodes except those staring with a '#' character. If a parameter of '*' is given, those 'hidden' nodes will also be shown.

If a callsign or alias is given that the node does not know, it gives an error message. If the callsign or alias of a known node is given, the node gives details of the routes it knows about that lead to that destination. The display shows one option per line, each of which consists of the path quality, obsolescence count and port followed by the callsign of the neighbour. If any route is in use, a chevron is shown against the appropriate entry.

If so configured by the Sysop, 'Slime trails' i.e. nodes without aliases that have not been the subject of a valid node broadcast, may be omitted from the nodes list.
