RFC 2811: Internet Relay Chat: Client Protocol
3.1.6 Service message


      Command: SERVICE
   Parameters: <nickname> <reserved> <distribution> <type>
               <reserved> <info>

   The SERVICE command to register a new service.  Command parameters
   specify the service nickname, distribution, type and info of a new
   service.
   The <distribution> parameter is used to specify the visibility of a
   service.  The service may only be known to servers which have a name
   matching the distribution.  For a matching server to have knowledge
   of the service, the network path between that server and the server
   on which the service is connected MUST be composed of servers which
   names all match the mask.

   The <type> parameter is currently reserved for future usage.

                                   service will only be available on
