+======Synopsis:======
+__list__ [<switch> [<arg>] [<switch> [<arg>] ...]] [<channel>]
+======Description:======
+This query asks the server about all of the public channels that exist
+on the current network.  A summary of each channel, including the channel
+name, the number of users on the channel, and the channel's topic (if any)
+will be displayed, one per line.
+If you provide an exact channel name, then only information about that
+channel will be returned.  If you provide "*" as the channel name, then
+the current window's current channel will be used.  Otherwise the server
+will return the entire channel list.
+On large public networks with many thousands of channels, using this
+command may be counterproductive.  Even the use of the filtering rules
+before are not helpful since the client has to ask for the entire list
+and filter out what you don't want to see.  It still all has to be sent
+to you.  In some severe situations you can be disconnected from the server
+if you are using a slow link.
+Only public channels will be shown.  Private or secret channels will not
+be shown in the result, unless you are actually a member of that channel
+at the time you use the __LIST__ command.
+======Options:======
+You can refine the output by asking for only channels with certain
+characteristics.  Except when you use the -i option on undernet servers,
+all of this filtering is done by the client and not the server.  This
+means EPIC still has to process the entire list even if you only want
+to see a couple of channels.
+  -min <n>   shows channels with no less than n users
+  -max <n>   shows channels with no more than n users
+  -i     Use undernet specific server-side filtering for above two
+These options are always done on the client side even with the -i option:
+  -public    shows public channels only
+  -private   shows private channels only
+  -topic     shows channels with a topic set
+  -all       overrides any previous -public or -private switch
+These options turn on "wide listing" which uses less vertical space:
+  -wide      shows name and size using as little space as possible:
+  -name      sort -wide list by channel name
+  -users     sort -wide list by number of users per channel
+======Examples:======
+To show channels with 3 to 15 users:
+      /list -min 3 -max 15
+To show public channels with "help" in the name:
+      /list -public #*help*
+To get a concise listing of channels with over 30 users, sorted by name:
+      /list -min 30 -wide -name
+To see how Undernet's LIST works (and see below):
+      /quote list help
