+Synopsis:
+   links [[<server>] <glob>]
+
+Description:
+   LINKS is used to display the servers currently connected to the irc
+   network.  More precisely, it returns a list of the name each server
+   calls itself.  For example, a Finnish server might present itself as
+   *.fi instead of its full server name (for a variety of reasons which
+   aren't really important here).
+
+   If a server name is omitted, the client's current server is used.
+   If a glob pattern is omitted, all servers are listed.
+
+Examples:
+   To list all servers in Australia:
+      /links *.au
+
+   To query all hostmasked Australian servers for a server with a machine
+   name of "foobar":
+      /links *.au foobar.*
+
+See Also:
+   load(5) tls
+
+Other Notes:
+   Servers using "dog3/super" patched code may disallow use of the LINKS
+   command from time to time.  Such servers have a "high traffic mode",
+   in which certain commands are disabled to conserve server resources.
+   A 263 numeric will be returned if LINKS is unavailable.
+
+   Some servers are now disallowing LINKS entirely, or limiting its use
+   to irc operators (sometimes local operators only), as it is easily
+   abused by "link lookers" and the like.
