Join

Join is the command used to join a channel. It has the following format.

/join #chan

There a few cases where this command will not work. These cases are when the channel is invite only, a user is banned, or the channel has a channel key.

If the channel has a channel key, the following command must be used.

/join #chan channelKey

If joining multiple channels, WITHOUT channel keys, in a single commandline statement:

 /join #chan1,#chan2

Note: do not separate channels with a space.

If joining multiple channels WITH channel keys in a single commandline statement:

 /join #chan1,#chan2 key1,key2

Note: separate the last channel and the first key with a space. No other spaces are allowed.

If joining multiple channels and only one has a key, it must be listed first.

If the channel is invite only, use the following command and wait for another user to send an invite.

/knock #chan Message to channel ops.

If the user is banned, I am banned is hopefully helpful.
