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.*

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.
