# list
## Syntax ##
## 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
