4.5.1 Who query


      Command: WHO
   Parameters: [<name> [<o>]]

   The WHO message is used by a client to generate a query which returns
   a list of information which 'matches' the <name> parameter given by
   the client.  In the absence of the <name> parameter, all visible
   (users who aren't invisible (user mode +i) and who don't have a
   common channel with the requesting client) are listed.  The same
   result can be achieved by using a <name> of "0" or any wildcard which
   will end up matching every entry possible.

   The <name> passed to WHO is matched against users' host, server, real
   name and nickname if the channel <name> cannot be found.

   If the "o" parameter is passed only operators are returned according
   to the name mask supplied.

   Numeric Replies:

           ERR_NOSUCHSERVER
           RPL_WHOREPLY                    RPL_ENDOFWHO

   Examples:

   WHO *.fi                        ; List all users who match against
                                   "*.fi".

   WHO jto* o                      ; List all users with a match against
                                   "jto*" if they are an operator.
