API GetChannelName

Returns information about the specified channel. id, name, instanceID, isCommunitiesChannel = GetChannelName(id or "name")

Arguments

 * id : number - Channel ID to query, e.g. 1 for the chat channel currently addressable using /1.
 * name : string - Name of the channel to query, e.g. "Trade - City".

Returns

 * id : number - The ID of the channel, or 0 if the channel is not found.
 * name : string - The name of the channel, e.g. "Trade - Stormwind", or nil if the player is not in the queried channel.
 * instanceID : number - Index used to deduplicate channels. Usually zero, unless two channels with the same name exist.
 * isCommunitiesChannel : boolean - True if this is a Blizzard Communities channel, false if not.

Details

 * Note that querying GetChannelName("Trade - City") may return values which appear to be valid even while the player is not a city. Consider using  to check whether you really have access to the Trade channel.
