+%9Parameters:%9
+
+ The target nickname or channel and the modes with their parameters to set or
+ remove.
+
+ If the target nickname or channel is omitted, the active nickname or channel
+ will be used.
+
+%9Description:%9
+
+ Modifies the user or channel modes for which you are privileged to modify.
+
+ You can specify multiple modes in one command and prepend them by using the
+ '+' sign to set or '-' sign to unset; modes that require a parameter will be
+ retrieved from the argument list.
+
+ Some common channel modes are:
+
+ b <mask>: Adds or removes a ban; a ban will prevent a user who
+ matches the given mask from joining the channel unless
+ he or she is invited or in the exempt list.
+ e <mask>: Adds or removes a ban exception; users who match a mask
+ on the exempt list are able to join a channel even if
+ they also match an entry on the ban list.
+ i: When enabled, users need to be invited into the channel
+ or have a matching entry in the invite list.
+ I <mask>: Adds or removes an invite; users who match a mask on
+ the invite list are able to join even if the channel is
+ set to invite only.
+ k <key>: Adds or removes a channel key, aka a password; users
+ will not be able to join the channel without providing
+ the key.
+ l <count>: Adds, removes or updates the maximum amount of users
+ that may join the channel.
+ m: When enabled, users who are not opped or voiced cannot
+ send messages to the channel.
+ n: When enabled, users who are not on the channel cannot
+ send messages to it.
+ p: When enabled, the channel will not be displayed in your
+ WHOIS output.
+ s: When enabled, the channel will not be displayed in the
+ LIST output.
+ t: When enabled, users who are not opped or voices cannot
+ modify the channel topic.
+ o <nickname>: Adds or removes the operator status from a nickname.
+ v <nickname>: Adds or removes the voice status from a nickname.
+
+ Some common user modes are:
+
+ i: When enabled, other users will not be able to see you
+ on a WHO output unless they are in the channel
+ themselves.
+ w: When enabled, you will receive WALLOP messages from IRC
+ operators.
+ s: When enabled, you will receive special notices or debug
+ messages from the server.
+
+ Many networks have additional user and channel modes; we highly recommend
+ you to read the documentation of the networks you frequently connect to and
+ maximize your IRC experience.
