Syntax Reference

Every piece of syntax skNetwork adds, on one page. Square brackets are optional words, (a|b) means either. Each entry links to the page that explains it.

Variables

Any variable whose name starts with the prefix, ? by default, is a network variable. There is no syntax to learn. See Network variables.

delete {?online::lobby::*}
