Parameters

channel: The channel to join. Channel names must begin with '&', '#', '+' or '!'.

Remarks

Once a user has joined a channel, he receives information about all commands his server receives affecting the channel. This includes JOIN, MODE, KICK, PART, QUIT and of course PRIVMSG/NOTICE. This allows channel members to keep track of the other channel members, as well as channel modes.

If a JOIN is successful, the user receives a JOIN message as confirmation and is then sent the channel's topic ( OnTopicRequest and the list of users who are on the channel ( OnNames ), which MUST include the user joining.
