If an oper issues this command, they will be shown a set of flags next to each module name. The meaning of these flags is shown below:

[edit] /KILL [nickname-list] [reason]

This command will disconnect a user from IRC with the given reason. You may provide the nicknames of multiple users in the first parameter seperated by commas. If you disconnect yourself, parsing of the command will stop at the position of your nickname in the list.

[edit] /REHASH {servername}

This command will cause the server configuration file to be re-read and values re-initialised. All modules which are able will reload their settings and re-initialize. The core will also unload any modules which you have removed from the config, and load any new modules which you have added since the last time the Configuration file was read. If a server name is provided, the remote server given is rehashed instead of the local one.

[edit] /SQUIT [servermask]

This causes the given (local) server to be disconnected from the server you are on.

[edit] /LOADMODULE [filename.so]

Loads a new module into the IRCd. Be very careful with your use of this command! When you load a module it is initialized, and any modes or commands the module implements will instantly become available. Note that if you add a module to your server which other servers on the network do not have, and it implements a user or channel mode, you will desynchronise your network! The module is loaded from the modules directory you configured when you compiled your ircd.

[edit] /UNLOADMODULE [filename.so]

This unloads an existing module from the ircd. Note that you may not unload a module which has marked itself as static without first restarting the irc server (these are usually modules which implement channel or user modes, type /modules for a list of flags associated with each module).

[edit] /RELOAD [commandname]

Reload the shared object file which implements the given command. Note that these shared objects cannot be removed in the same way as modules, nor can new ones be introduced at runtime, they may only reloaded, e.g. for hotpatching.
