[JDEV] About IRC Transport

[Malli, Siva_Kumar]

	I didn't look into the code, but i am trying to help. When you issue
a /join command from the client and its succesful or when you issue a /names
command you will get a reply from the server with numeric code 353 which has
the channel name and all the names in that channel. The channel name can be
prefixed by "="/"*"/"@". '=' is to represent that the channel is a public
channel, @ for secret channels and * for private channels. So you must also
look for '*' from your code apart from'=' and '@'.
Thanks,
Siva.
