I've been searching around on Google, but I cannot find my answers to doing a specific thing with IRC and in Irssi, so I've come here to see if I can get any answers.Okay first in IRC using Irssi, when I'm connected to a IRC network, how can I display what channels are currently available on that network I'm connected to?I have tried doing /channel listbut this doesn't show me anything what I'm looking for, all it shows is this;Channel         Network    Password   Settings#irssi          IRCnet  when I run /lsusers I get this;*** There are 655 users and 1662 invisible on 9 servers*** 16 operator(s) online*** 1245 channels formed*** I have 383 clients and 3 servers*** 383 1500 Current local users 383, max 1500*** 2317 6083 Current global users 2317, max 6083how can I list to see those channel names it shows there like it would in other IRC clients like Xchat or mIRC?also I would like someone to be able to clarify something since the irssi guides on commands from the Arch Wiki aren't quite too clear, particularly on the VHosts section --> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/irssi#Virtual_hostname_.28vhost.29tell if I'm close or on the right track here about setting up and using vhosts with Irssi, it says I should set my virtual hostname inside of /etc/hosts if I want to use VHosts on Irssi, is this correct? I tried doing just that, but when I try to connect to an irc network I would get-!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.example.net port 6667 [Invalid argument]and refuses to connect at all. In my current /etc/hosts file I have 2 entries as default for my local hostname, plus defaults for IPv6;127.0.0.1      localhost127.0.1.1      ASUS# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopbackfe00::0 ip6-localnetff00::0 ip6-mcastprefixff02::1 ip6-allnodesff02::2 ip6-allroutersso if I wanted to set my vhost I would have to replace ASUS that my current default uses to something else to be able to use VHost in Irssi am I correct?

How to determine which #channels are available on a server/listHow to set a vhostvhosts are server-specific.  You will need to check the documentation for the server on which you're interested in setting a vhost.  vhosts can also be referred to as cloaks.  You do not set this up on your machine, but instead request it from the irc server.Some servers allow setup of a vhost via Nickserv or another service, or require you to request a vhost/cloak from a server operator.Freenode Cloaks
