+This command is used to manage the users modes on the channel.
+Most of the modes require that the user which changes some

@SYNTAX:kill@
-This command can be used for two purpose: SILC operator may use it
-to remove a client from the network, or user may use it to remove
-its own client entries from the network.
-
-If you are not SILC operator you cannot use this command to remove
-anybody else except yourself from the network. Only SILC operator
-is able to kill other clients from the network. When killing your
-own client entry you must provide -pubkey argument to the command.
-For killing your own client from network you also must be connected
-to the same server as your own client entry (the client entry may
-be for example detached client entry). When using this command as
-SILC operator -pubkey has no effect.

+Killing own client entry from network:
+
+When killing your own client entry you must provide -pubkey option to the
+command. For killing your own client from network you also must be
+connected to the same server as your own client entry (the client entry
+may be for example detached client entry). If you are not connected to
+the same server you won't be able to kill the client. Also, if you have
+changed or lost your old public key pair you won't be able to kill the
+client.
+
+Killing as SILC Operator:
+
+Before killing you must elevate your privileges to SILC Operator by using
+the /SILCOPER command. After that you can kill a client. When using this
+command as SILC operator -pubkey option has no effect and can be omitted.
Examples:
is normal channel message.
If the -sign optin is provided, the message will be additionally
-signed.
+digitally signed and the receiver may verify it with your public key.
-Messages that exceed roughly 64k have to be split up into smaller packets.
-This is done automatically.
+Messages that exceed roughly 64k will be fragmented automatically and
+sent as separate messages. The reassembly of the fragments will be done
+automatically by the recipient.
-If no transfer-encoding is given it defaults to binary or 7bit for messages
-that have to be split up.
-
-If no content-type is given it is guessed using a MIME magic file.

NOTE: You have to have enabled perl support at compile time, and you need to
load the perl script silc-mime.pl for this to work!
@SYNTAX:msg@
-Sends a private message to other user in the network.
+Sends a private message to other user in the network. Only you
+and the receipient will be able to see the private message.
It is possible to digitally sign your messages. The receiver
may then verify the message with your public key. By default
to be signed you SMSG command instead of this MSG command.
If -channel option is provided then this command actually
-send channel message to the specified channel. The message
+sends channel message to the specified channel. The message
IS NOT private message, it is normal channel message. It is
also possible to digitally sign channel messages by using
SMSG command or by doing /set sign_channel_messages on, in
which case _all_ channel messages will be signed.
-Example:
+Examples:
/MSG Toni Hi, what's up?
@SYNTAX:ping@
-Sends PING to the connected server.
-
-
+Sends PING to the connected server. It is not possible to ping any
+other server but the one you are directly connected with.
@SYNTAX:umode@
-This command is used to manage client's modes in the network.
-Note that some of the modes the client cannot set itself.
-The mode is added by adding + before the option(s) and removed
-by adding - before the option(s). The following user
-modes are available:
+This command is used to manage user's own modes in the network. Note that
+some of the modes the user cannot set itself, however any mode can be

+available:
a Unset all modes
s Unset server operator privileges
o User's geographical location
o Information about the device user is using (computer, PDA, etc)
-If the -pubkey option is used WHOIS will only retrieve the clients
-with the corresponding public key.
-
NOTE: It is also possible to receive other information. Note that
all users do not want to send these informations or may send only
some of the information. It also possible that none of these
does not want to respond to you. In this case the returned
information may be incomplete.

If you want to send your information in WHOIS you can set the
