<helpop key="who" value="/WHO <pattern> [<flags>][%[<fields>[,<querytype>]]] <pattern>

Looks up information about users matching the provided pattern. You can specify
a flag specific pattern, a channel name, user hostname, a user server name, a
user real name, or a user nickname. Matching users will only be included in the
WHO response if:

 1) The specified pattern is an exact channel name that does not have the
    private or secret channel modes set and the user does not have the invisible
    user mode set.
 2) The specified pattern is an exact nickname.
 3) You share one or more common channels with the user.
 4) The user does not have the invisible user mode set.
 5) You are a server operator with the users/auspex privilege.

If you specify any fields the response returned will be a WHOX response rather
than a RFC 1459 WHO response.

Valid WHO Flags
---------------

The following flags use <pattern> to match against the specified user data:

 A     Show users who have an away message matching <pattern>.
 a     Show users who have an account name matching <pattern>.
 h     Show users who have a hostname matching <pattern>. If the 'x' modifier
       is specified then this will match against the real hostname instead of
       the display hostname.
 i     Show users who have an IP address matching <pattern>.
 m     Show users who have the modes listed in <pattern>. The pattern
       should be in the same format as a mode change e.g. +ow-i (server
       operators only).
 n     Show users who have a nickname matching <pattern>.
 p     Show users who are connected to a port in the <pattern> range (server
       operators only).
 r     Show users who have a real name matching <pattern>.
 s     Show users who are on a server with a name matching <pattern>. If the 'x'
       modifier is specified then this will match against the real server name
       instead of the masked server name.
 t     Show users who have connected in the last <pattern> seconds.
 u     Show users who have an ident (username) matching <pattern>.

The following flags filter users by their status:

 f     Only show users on remote (far) servers.
 l     Only show users on the local server.
 o     Only show server operators.

The following flags modify the command output:

 x     Show sensitive data like real user hostnames and, when hideserver is
       enabled, real server hostnames.

You may combine one flag from the first group and multiple from the others in
one WHO command.

Valid WHO Fields
----------------

 a     Include the user's account name in the response.
 c     Include the first common channel name in the response.
 d     Include the user's server distance from you in the response.
 f     Include the user's away status, oper status, and highest channel prefix
       in the response.
 h     Include the user's hostname in the response. If the 'x' flag was
       specified then this is the real host rather than the display host.
 i     Include the user's IP address in the response.
 l     Include the user's idle time in the response.
 n     Include the user's nickname in the response.
 o     Include the user's channel operator rank level in the response.
 r     Include the user's real name in the response.
 s     Include the user's server name in the response. If the 'x' flag was
       specified then this is the real server name rather than the masked server
       name.
 t     Include the query type in the response.
 u     Include the user's ident in the response.

Sets or removes an r-line (regex line) on a n!u@h\srealname mask. You
must specify all three parameters to add an rline, and one parameter
to remove an rline (just the regex).

The duration may be specified in seconds, or in the format
1y2w3d4h5m6s - meaning one year, two weeks, three days, 4 hours,
5 minutes and 6 seconds. All fields in this format are optional.">

<helpop key="close" value="/CLOSE

Closes all unregistered connections to the local server.">

<helpop key="clearchan" value="/CLEARCHAN <channel> [<KILL|KICK|G|Z>] [<reason>]

Quits or kicks all non-opers from a channel, optionally G/Z-Lines them.
Useful for quickly nuking bot channels.

The default method, KILL, simply disconnects the victims from the server,
while methods G and Z also add G/Z-Lines for all the targets.

When used, the victims won't see each other getting kicked or quitting.">

<helpop key="modenotice" value="/MODENOTICE <modeletters> <message>

Sends a notice to all users who have the given mode(s) set.
If multiple mode letters are given, the notice is only sent to users
who have all of them set.">

<helpop key="cloak" value="/CLOAK <host>

Generate the cloak of a host or IP. This is useful for example when
trying to get the cloak of a user from /WHOWAS and they were not
using their cloak when they quit.">

######################

<helpop key="extbans" value="Extended Bans
----------

Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
in different ways to a standard ban.

To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
setting +I <extban>.

Matching extbans:

 j:<channel>   Matches anyone in the given channel. Does not support
               wildcards (requires the channelban module).
 n:<class>     Matches users in a matching connect class (requires the
               classban module).
 r:<realname>  Matches users with a matching real name (requires the
               gecosban module).
 s:<server>    Matches users on a matching server (requires the
               serverban module).
 z:<certfp>    Matches users having the given SSL certificate
               fingerprint (requires the sslmodes module).
 O:<opertype>  Matches IRCops of a matching type, mostly useful as an
               an invite exception (requires the operchans module).
 R:<account>   Matches users logged into a matching account (requires
               the services account module).
 U:<banmask>   Matches unregistered users matching the given banmask.
               (requires the services account module).

Acting extbans:

 c:<banmask>   Blocks any messages that contain formatting codes from
               matching users (requires the blockcolor module).
 m:<banmask>   Blocks messages from matching users (requires the muteban
               module). Users with +v or above are not affected.
 p:<banmask>   Blocks part messages from matching users (requires
               the nopartmsg module).
 A:<banmask>   Blocks invites by matching users even when +A is set
               (requires the allowinvite module).
 B:<banmask>   Blocks all capital or nearly all capital messages from
               matching users (requires the blockcaps module).
 C:<banmask>   Blocks CTCPs from matching users (requires the noctcp
               module).
 N:<banmask>   Blocks nick changes from matching users (requires
               the nonicks module).
 Q:<banmask>   Blocks kicks by matching users (requires the nokicks
               module).
 S:<banmask>   Strips formatting codes from messages from matching
               users (requires the stripcolor module).
 T:<banmask>   Blocks notices from matching users (requires the
               nonotice module).

A ban given to an Acting extban may either be a nick!user@host mask
(unless stated otherwise), matched against users as for a normal ban,
or a Matching extban.

There is an additional special type of extended ban, a redirect ban:

 Redirect      n!u@h#channel will redirect the banned user to #channel
               when they try to join (requires the banredirect module).">
