+ | __names__ [<switch> [<arg>] [<switch> [<arg>] ...]] [<channel>] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Description:====== | ||
+ | __NAMES__ is similar to [[LIST]] except it will show nicknames in addition | ||
+ | to channel names. Only visible users on public channels are returned. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If a nickname is prefixed with a +, that means they are a channel voice | ||
+ | (mode +v) on that channel. If a nickname is prefixed with @, that means | ||
+ | they are a channel operator (mode +o) on that channel. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If an exact channel name is given, only that channel is queried. If the | ||
+ | "*" channel is given, your current window's current channel is used. | ||
+ | In all other circumstances, the client requests information about ALL | ||
+ | channels, and the problems incurred with global [[LIST]] requests apply. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[NAMES]] supports client-side filtering, but just as with [[LIST]] you | ||
+ | still run the risk of flooding yourself off the server if the network is | ||
+ | huge and has thousands of channels. (Servers do not always tolerate users | ||
+ | who use up lots of resources asking for large amounts of data.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Channels that are not public (Either +p or +s) will not show up at all. | ||
+ | Users that are invisible (User mode +i, or are a member of a non-public | ||
+ | channel) will not show up at all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can always do a __NAMES__ request on any channel you are a member of | ||
+ | without regard to any of the above restrictions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Options:====== | ||
+ | |-min <n> |shows channels with no less than n users | | ||
+ | |-max <n> |shows channels with no more than n users | | ||
+ | |-public |shows public channels only | | ||
+ | |-private |shows private channels only | | ||
+ | |-all |overrides any previous -public or -private switch | | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Examples:====== | ||
+ | To show users on all channels with 3 to 15 users: | ||
+ | /names -min 3 -max 15 | ||
+ | |||
+ | To show users on public channels with "help" in the name: | ||
+ | /names -public #*help* | ||
