The "MODE" command in IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is used to change or query various modes of a channel or user. It allows channel operators and IRC administrators to modify certain settings and privileges for a channel.
To change the channel's mode, the MODE command is used with the appropriate parameters. The MODE command follows this format:
MODE <channel> <mode> [<mode_parameter>]
<channel>: The name of the IRC channel for which you want to change the mode.
<mode>: The specific mode you want to set or remove. Each mode is represented by a single character (e.g., "i" for invite-only, "t" for topic restrictions, "k" for channel key, "o" for channel operator, "l" for user limit, etc.).
[<mode_parameter>]: An optional parameter that may be required for some modes. For example, for the "k" (channel key) mode, you would specify the channel password as the mode parameter.
Here's how the MODE command is used to change specific channel modes:
[x] 1. Invite-only (i) mode: To set or remove the invite-only mode for a channel:
[x] 4. Channel operator (o) mode: To give or take channel operator privileges:
MODE #channel +o <nickname> // Give channel operator privilege to a user
MODE #channel -o <nickname> // Take channel operator privilege from a user
[x] 5. User limit (l) mode: To set or remove the user limit for the channel:
MODE #channel +l <limit> // Set user limit
MODE #channel -l // Remove user limit
Keep in mind that changing the channel's mode typically requires channel operator privileges (mode "+o"). It's essential to use the MODE command responsibly and follow the rules and guidelines set by the channel and the IRC network.
