## Syntax ##

<div class="irssisyntax highlight"><pre style="\-\-cmdlen:4ch"><code><span class="synB">LIST</span> <span class="syn10">[<span class="syn">-yes</span>]</span> <span class="syn10">[<span class="syn09">&lt;channel></span>]</span></code></pre></div>



## Parameters ##


| | |
| --- | --- |
| `-yes`: |     Confirms that you want to receive a large amount of data. |

If the exact name of a channel is given, the only information about this
channel is requested; otherwise, a list of all channels will be displayed.

## Description ##

Displays the channel names that match your request; requesting all channels
may cause the server to disconnect you for flooding.

## Examples ##

    /LIST
    /LIST -yes
    /LIST #ubuntu
    /LIST #*ubuntu*,>1

## Remarks ##

Not all networks support server-side filtering and may provide a network
service or service bot instead; on IRCnet, you may use the List service:

    /SQUERY List HELP
    /MSG ALIS HELP
