| $boolean Casts a variable to a boolean | 
| Usage | 
| <integer> $boolean(<data:variant>) | 
| Description | 
| Forces <data> to be a boolean data type by first casting to integer (see $int()) and then comparing the result against zero. A zero integer will result in a false value while a non-zero one will result in a true value. This function is similar to the C++ (bool) cast and is internally aliased to $bool too. Note that since KVIrc does most of the casting work automatically you shouldn't need to use this function. |
