what is NOOP

realy i dont know about this and i am looking to get sth about it here

i found this in the vincula and i found it in vinculatg and asked my friends to check it and found it also

    elseif (($2 == 421) && (*NOOP* iswm $3-)) { }

is that halt ?! or wt is that exactly i found the raw section this

421 command : Unknown command

but for wt or wt happen if i halted it?!

the term "noop" stands for no opperation. For Vincula it was used just to send a false command to MSN servers as a "keep-alive" method. Both DC and Nuke uses $crlf, it was not done by vincula, for unknown reasons, but basically it is sent at a consequative time interval, and the command (for vincula) is meant to return something back so that it knows the socket is still active, and in that case, it results "noop" as invalid command (raw 421). Vinc just blocks it out with that line of code. Using {} just means perform commands within {}, but there is no command, so it just instantly stops. I guess the proper code should be

elseif (($2 == 421) && (*NOOP* iswm $3-)) return

but yea, it doesn't really matter.

no i didnt , just was looking for it and know abt it and wt is going if i halted it so thx alot for ur help TGK and X-Fusion.
