Network searches require the oper_spy privilege and an '!'
before the hostmask.
The matching works the same way as TESTMASK.
</para>
<para>
The <replaceable>hostmask</replaceable> is of the form user@host
or user@ip/cidr with * and ? wildcards, optionally preceded by
nick!.
</para>

The <replaceable>gecos</replaceable> field accepts the same wildcards
as xlines.
</para>
<para>
The IP address field contains 255.255.255.255 if the IP address
is unknown (remote client on a TS5 server) or 0 if the IP address

<para>
Searches the local server or network for users that have the umodes given with + and do not have the umodes given with -.
no-list disables the listing of matching users and only shows the count.
list enables the listing (default).
global extends the search to the entire network instead of local users only.
list-max limits the listing of matching users to the given amount.
mask causes only users matching the given nick!user@host mask
to be selected. Only the displayed host is considered, not the
IP address or real host behind dynamic spoofs.
</para>
<para>
The IP address field contains 255.255.255.255 if the IP address
is unknown (remote client on a TS5 server) or 0 if the IP address
is hidden (auth{} spoof).
