### Mode formats
Modes are stored a special format in PyLink, different from raw mode strings in order to make them easier to parse. Mode strings can be turned into mode *lists*, which are used to both represent mode changes in hooks, and when storing them internally.
Modes are stored a special format in PyLink, different from raw mode strings in order to make them easier to parse. Mode strings can be turned into mode *lists*, which are used to represent mode changes in hooks, and when storing modes internally.
`utils.parseModes(irc, target, split_modestring)` is used to convert mode strings to mode lists, where `irc` is the IRC object, `target` is the channel or user the mode is being set on, and `split_modestring` is the string of modes to parse, *split at each space* (really a list).

- `utils.parseModes(irc, '#chat', ['+tHIs', '*!*@is.sparta'])` would give:
- `[('+t', None), ('+H', None), ('+I', '*!*@is.sparta'), ('+s', None)]`
Also, it will automatically convert prefix mode targets from nicks to UIDs, and drop invalid modes
Also, `parseModes` will automatically convert prefix mode targets from nicks to UIDs, and drop invalid modes settings.

- `[]`
- `utils.parseModes(irc, '#chat', ['+o', 'GLolol'])`:
- `[('+o', '001ZJZW01')]`
Then, the parsed mode lists can be applied to channel using `utils.applyModes(irc, target, parsed_modelist)`.

When a certain mode (e.g. owner) isn't supported on a network, the key still exists in `prefixmodes` but is simply unused.
