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:

+ Set/unset channel founder authentication. (*)
Channel founder may set this mode so that
if the client leaves the channel it can
claim the founder rights when it returns
server. If these are omitted then the default
SILC keypair is used. Normally you do not need
to provide these arguments.
+ C [{[+|-]<pubkeyfile> }] (*)
+ 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
+ able to join the channel. Channel founder may set
+ this mode and operate on the channel public key
+ list.
+
+ 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
+ displayed.
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.

+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.
