One of the first skills that any player of NetHack needs to know is how to use the inventory.

Press [i] to see your inventory, which is a list of all objects that you carry.

Carrying too many items makes you burdened or worse. Also, you are limited to 52 objects (corresponding to 26 uppercase and 26 lowercase inventory letters), even if you are strong or the objects all have low weight. If you find a bag, then you can hold more items.

The fixinv option, which by default is on, causes you to remember the inventory letter of an object that you drop.

Implicit inventory items

In addition to those items listen with the [i] command, the hero is assumed to be carrying a wallet (examinable with the [$] command) and a knapsack ("Your knapsack cannot accommodate any more items.").

Pants

It is a popular myth that NetHack characters do not wear pants. However, #sitting on a cockatrice corpse does not turn you to stone, so clearly the hero is wearing some form of pants, trousers or boxer shorts.
