+PRIVMSG <nick1|channel1[,nick2|channel2...]> :message
+
+PRIVMSG will send a standard message to the
+user or channel specified.
+
+PRIVMSG supports the following prefixes for sending
+messages to specific clients in a channel:
+
+@ - channel operators only
+% - channel operators and half-ops
++ - operators, half-ops, and voiced users
+
+Two other targets are permitted:
+
+$$servermask - Send a message to a server or set of
+               servers
+$#hostmask   - Send a message to users matching the
+               hostmask specified.
+
+These two are operator only.
+
+The nick can be extended to fit into the following
+syntax:
+
+username[%hostname]@servername
+
+This syntax (without the hostname) is used to securely
+send a message to a service or a bot.
+
+An extension of this is the syntax to send to all opers
+on a server.
+
+opers@servername
+
+In Hybrid 7, all opers on a server will see a message that
+looks like a modified WALLOPS
