3.2.7 Invite message
Command: INVITE
Parameters: <nickname> <channel>
The INVITE command is used to invite a user to a channel. The
parameter <nickname> is the nickname of the person to be invited to
the target channel <channel>. There is no requirement that the
channel the target user is being invited to must exist or be a valid
channel. However, if the channel exists, only members of the channel
are allowed to invite other users. When the channel has invite-only
flag set, only channel operators may issue INVITE command.
Only the user inviting and the user being invited will receive
notification of the invitation. Other channel members are not
notified. (This is unlike the MODE changes, and is occasionally the
source of trouble for users.)
