+mask or a server mask.
+-
+Valid WHO flags
+---------------
+The following flags after the mask have the following affects:
+-
+ o Show online IRC operators matching the mask
+ u Unlimit the results past the maximum /who results value
+ (IRC operators only)
+ r Show all users whose realnames match the mask. When this
+ flag is set it overrides the meaning of the search-pattern,
+ which must contain a glob pattern intended to match GECOS
+ (realname) fields.
+ h Show real hostnames rather than masked hostnames (IRC
+ operators only)
+ m Search for all users with a given set of user modes. When
+ this flag is set it overrides the meaning of the
+ search-pattern, which must contain the mode sequence to
+ search for, for example to find all users with +i and
+ without +s, issue the command WHO +i-s m.
+ a Show all users who have an away message matching the given mask
+ p Show all users who are connected on the given port number
+ i Show all users who have an ident (username) matching the given mask
+ M Show all users who have metadata attached to them with
