channel and its cross-references

channel

channel [<chan>] [show]                       show settings
channel [<chan>] manager +|-|= <nick> ...     set manager list
channel [<chan>] autojoin yes|no              join at bot start ?
channel [<chan>] userinvite pub|here|all|none who can invite ?
channel [<chan>] mode *|+...-...              set modes when alone
channel [<chan>] topic leave | set <topic>    set topic when alone?
channel [<chan>] topic see|tell +|-|= <chan>|* ...
 See `help <setting>' (eg, `help manager') for more info.

autojoin

channel [<chan>] autojoin yes|no      (`yes' is the default.)
 Controls whether I'll join the channel when I'm (re)started.

invite

invite <nick> ...             on channel
invite <channel> <nick> ...   privately
 This command gets me to invite the specified people to the channel.
 This is useful because only IRC channel operators can use /invite.
 This can be disabled for managed channels - see `help userinvite'.
To get me to join a channel, a channel operator should /invite me.

manager

channel [<chan>] manager + <nick> <nick> ...  add managers
channel [<chan>] manager - <nick> <nick> ...  remove managers
channel [<chan>] manager = <nick> <nick> ...  set new manager list
 Managers are those who can use the `channel' command to change
 channel settings.  Manager status is only effective for secure
 nicks, after the manager has identified themselves.
 If you op me on an unmanaged channel you become the only manager,
 but you must use `channel' to change a channel setting to make this
 permanent.  To make a channel unmanaged, make it have no managers.

mode

channel [<chan>] mode *|+...-...           (`mode *' is default.)
 If not set to `*' then whenever I'm alone in the channel I'll set
 and unset the channel modes specified.  Only the modes imnpst are
 supported.  Precede one or more mode letters with + to set, - to
 unset; any letters not mentioned will be left alone.

topic

channel [<chan>] topic set <topic>    set topic when alone
channel [<chan>] topic leave          don't (default)
 If set to `topic set <topic>' then whenever I'm alone in the channel
 I'll reset the topic; if se to `topic leave' I'll leave it alone.
channel [<chan>] topic see|tell +|-|= <chan>|* ...
 I can inform one channel about topic changes in another.  Each
 channel has a `see list' and a `tell list' which may be empty or
 contain some channel names and/or a `*'.  I'll tell channel #spy
 whenever I see the topic change in #showoff if: #showoff or * is
 mentioned in #spy's see list, and #spy or * is mentioned in
 #showoff's tell list, and at least one those mentions is not a `*'.
 + adds items to the relevant list, - removes them, and = sets the
 list to exactly those items specified.  Both lists are empty by
 default, but a good permissive value is just `*' for both lists.

userinvite

channel [<chan>] userinvite pub    users on chan can !invite
channel [<chan>] userinvite here   users on chan can !invite and /msg
channel [<chan>] userinvite all    anyone can !invite and /msg
channel [<chan>] userinvite none   !invite and /msg are disabled
 Controls whether the `invite' command works for this channel, and
 who can use it (`help invite').  `userinvite pub' is the default.
 Channel managers can always use the `invite' command.
