===== Non-existent commands =====

Attempting to run a command that does not exist may result a [[sockchat:notices:nocmd|nocmd]] notice being sent to the client.
Server implementations forego this and post the issued command as a regular message to whatever channel the client sent it on.

==== Example ====

In both of these cases the client issued non-existent command ''%%/beans soup%%''.

=== Non-existent commands are caught ===

The user receives the [[sockchat:notice:nocmd|nocmd]] notice with the formatting field set to ''%%beans%%'' without the leading slash.

=== Non-existent commands are sent as messages ===

Everyone present in the channel receives a [[sockchat:s2c:message-add|S2C Packet 2: Message Add]] packet with the Message Body field set to ''%%/beans soup%%''.

  * [[sockchat:notices|Notices]] - Documents responses that may be given to any of these commands.
