+* Channel modes.
+
+** Invite-Only channel.
+
+An Invite-Only channel can only be joined if you are invited by one of its
+channel operators.
+
+To make your channel invite-only:
+
+  irc> /mode #channel +i
+
+To invite users to the channel:
+
+  irc> /invite user #channel
+
+** Private channels.
+
+Private channels turn up normally in the channels list. People can see you are
+on a private channel somewhere, but they can never find out on -which- private
+channel you are unless they search all (private) channels by brute force.
+
+To make your channel private:
+
+  irc> /mode #channel +p
+
+** Secret channels.
+
+Secret channels do not show up in a channels list and you cannot find out its
+topic unless you join it. If you are on a secret channel, someone who is not
+on the same channel can't see that you are there.
+
+To make your channel secret:
+
+  irc> /mode #channel +s
