2997 kanza(IM)         2416 Me-better  2195 pirtti    2056^BDuck          
2900.B-Alterman(GM)    2364:butte      2193^Gauner    2051^Highland

2445^salka             ---- Hayou      2061^mtg  

The players are sorted according to the maximum of the active ratings. (The B, b, d, L, s, and w flags described in help who1 adjust this.)

Each player listed has their rating to the left of their username, and perhaps one of the following symbols: ^#.:~

  ^   That player is currently playing a game.
  #   That player is currently examining a game.
  .   That player is "idle" for at least 5 minutes (hasn't sent a command to
      ICC recently).
  :   That player is not open for match challenges.
  ~   That player is currently giving a simul (playing multiple games 
      concurrently).

Also, in the listing, titled players will have their title displayed next to their username. help titles lists the possible titles.

There are a number of optional flags, that select which players to show and how to show them. Do help who1 to see them.
