Synopsis:
   names [<switch> [<arg>] [<switch> [<arg>] ...]] [<channel>]

Description:
   NAMES returns a list of users on the specified channel.  The user list
   will include a + or @ prepended to those nicks that are +v or +o in
   that channel, respectively.

   If an exact channel name is given, only information about that channel
   is returned.  If a '*' is used as the channel name, the current
   channel is used.  Otherwise, the client will request a NAMES listing
   for all known channels.

   The client can search for specific channels or channels with certain
   characteristics.  If a glob pattern is given for the channel name, all
   channels matching that pattern are shown.  The list can be limited to
   channels with only a certain number of users, or those that are private
   or public.  Multiple switches may be used at once.

   NAMES output is affected by channel modes.  If a channel has mode +p,
   then its name will be masked in the output.  However, it can still be
   displayed normally if the exact channel name is known.  If the channel
   has mode +s, then it will not appear in any NAMES output, whether the
   exact name is known or not.  These limitations only apply to users not
   on the channels in question (i.e. a user on a +s channel can use NAMES
   for that channel normally).

Options:
   -min <n>   shows channels with no less than n users
   -max <n>   shows channels with no more than n users
   -public    shows public channels only
   -private   shows private channels only
   -all       overrides any previous -public or -private switch
                
Examples:
   To show users on all channels with 3 to 15 users:
      /names -min 3 -max 15

   To show users on public channels with "help" in the name:
      /names -public #*help*

Other Notes:
   Unless a specific channel name is given, the client will send a NAMES
   request for all channels and filter the output locally.  This is worth
   noting because large networks can easily have upwards of 2,000 channels
   at any given moment.  Parse such a large list will greatly slow the
   client.
