1030 Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
1031 users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
1032 in different ways to a standard ban.
1034 To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
1035 instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
1036 users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
1037 an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
1038 restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
1039 setting +I <extban>.
1043 a:<mask> Matches user with both a matching banmask and realname,
1044 where <mask> is in the format nick!user@host+realname

1047 wildcards (requires the channelban module).
