# list ## Syntax ##
LIST [-yes] [<channel>]
## Parameters ## | | | | --- | --- | | `-yes`: | Confirms that you want to receive a large amount of data. | If the exact name of a channel is given, the only information about this channel is requested; otherwise, a list of all channels will be displayed. ## Description ## Displays the channel names that match your request; requesting all channels may cause the server to disconnect you for flooding. ## Examples ## /LIST /LIST -yes /LIST #ubuntu /LIST #*ubuntu*,>1 ## Remarks ## Not all networks support server-side filtering. Some provide a network service or service bot instead; on IRCnet, you may use the List service: /SQUERY Alis HELP Other networks with service bots (like ChanServ) may also provide a list service bot (confirm with /WHOIS ALIS): /MSG Alis HELP ## See also ## [STATS](/documentation/help/1.2/stats), [SQUERY](/documentation/help/1.2/squery), [WHOIS](/documentation/help/1.2/whois)
