 +======Synopsis:======
 +__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*
