+Extbans are split into two types; matching extbans, which match on
+users in additional ways, and acting extbans, which restrict users
+in different ways to a standard ban.
+
+To use an extban, simply set +b <ban> or +e <ban> with it as the ban,
+instead of a normal nick!user@host mask, to ban or exempt matching
+users. Ban exceptions on acting extbans exempt that user from matching
+an extban of that type, and from any channel mode corresponding to the
+restriction. Matching extbans may also be used for invite exceptions by
+setting +I <extban>.
