+======Synopsis:======
+__trace__ [<server>]
+======Description:======
+This asks your server to give you information about the route between
+your server and the specified server.  It will show each server through
+which a message would pass on its way from you to the remote server.
+This command also will display active connections on the specified
+server or the local server if no server is specified. Only server
+operators will be able to see all the connections to a server,
+normal users are shown a limited set which typically includes
+server operators and other servers. See the restrictions and
+privacy warnings below for more detail.
+======Privacy:======
+On many servers, server operators are notified when this command is used.
+On almost all servers, this provides server operators with a way to see
+all local users, regardless of the invisible user mode.
+======Restrictions:======
+On many servers __TRACE__ is restricted to server operators only.
+Where normal users are allowed to use the command, the output is
+limited to showing active IRC operators and server-server connections.
+__TRACE__ may also be subject to rate limiting and truncated replies
+when used by normal users.
+Remote __TRACE__ requests by server operators may receive the more limited
+output traditionally reserved for normal users.
