of the modes require special privileges, such as channel operator
or channel founder privileges to work. The mode is added by
adding + before the option(s) and removed by adding - before the
-option(s). The following modes are available:

Channel founder may set this mode so that
if the client leaves the channel it can
claim the founder rights when it returns
- to the channel. If -pubkey is set then
- the authentication will be done using the
- client's public key. You can claim the
- founder rights using the CUMODE command.

+ Set/unset channel public key mode, and add/remove
+ channel publics key from the channel public key
+ list. When this mode is set only those users
+ whose public keys has been added to the list are

+
+ To add public key to the list give command:
+ CMODE +C +/path/to/the/public_key_file.pub
+
+ To remove one public key from the list give
+ command:
+ CMODE +C -/path/to/the/public_key_file.pub

+ To add or remove more than one public keys add as
+ many public key file paths as necessary.

+ When this mode is unset (-C), all public keys are
+ removed from the list. If +C is given without
+ arguments the current channel public key list is

Multiple modes can be set/unset at once if the modes does not
require any arguments. If mode requires an argument then only
-one mode can be set at once
+one mode can be set at once.
+
+When the +k (channel private key mode) mode is set the channel's
+default cipher and HMAC are not used. The private key (see /HELP KEY
+for help how to set the private key) defines the cipher and HMAC for
+the channel while +k mode is set. Also the +c and +h modes are ignored
+when channel private key is set.
