<oper> & <type>

This module extends the core <oper> and <type> tags with the following fields:

The override field should be set to one or more of the following values:

Example Usage

      ...
      override="BANWALK INVITE KEY LIMIT">

Allows server operators of type NetAdmin to ignore any restrictions that might prevent them from joining a channel:

<type name="NetAdmin"
