Usage: `/CTCP nick request'
CTCP or Client To Client Protocol is a standard for sending commands to other clients on IRC. Basically, CTCP messages are simply private messages that include a code to alert the receiving client (not user) to respond to the command.
CTCP commands are typicaly used to get informaton from the receiving client, such as '/CTCP time', or '/CTCP version'. Even DCC sends a request via CTCP to the receiving client, asking to initiate a direct connection.
