           Summary: Please add DCOP calls which return information

          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konversation-devel kde org

Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I'd like to have DCOP calls that return certain informations.
For example I wanted to create a script, which resolves the IP from a given nickname.
I intended to get the /whois info on that nick using the dcop raw command. Then I wanted to grep the hostname from the n= part and get the IP by pinging that host.
Problem was that raw doesn't return the server's response but instead sends it to the chat window.
So I'd recommend either a raw command, which returns the server's response, or several commands which return specific pieces of information (eg. hostname, ip).
