ADMIN, ALIAS, AWAY, BYE, CD, CLEAR, CONNECT, CTCP,
DCC, DESCRIBE, DIE, EVAL, EXIT, HELP, IGNORE, INFO,
INVITE, JOIN, KICK, KILL, LEAVE, LINKS, LIST, LOAD,
LUSERS, MAP, ME, MODE, MOTD, MSG, NAMES, NICK, NOTE,
NOTICE, NOTIFY, OPER, QUERY, PART, PING, QUERY, QUIT,
QUOTE, RPING, SAY, SERVER, SET, SIGNOFF, SILENCE,
SQUIT, STATS, TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, UPING, USERHOST,
USERS, VERSION, WALLOPS, WHO, WHOIS, WHOWAS.
In addition, sirc understands these shortcuts and addi-
tional commands, which are also described in the /help:
CL, D, DEOP, DE, HOP, IG, I, INV, J, K, LL, M, MO, N,
NEXT, NO, O, OP, P, SYSTEM, T, UMODE, W, WI
