# part

The `part` method allows the bot to leave a specific IRC channel.

#### Syntax

```javascript
bot.part(channel, message);
```

#### Parameters

* **`channel`** *(string, required)* – The IRC channel the bot should leave (e.g., `#channelname`).
* **`message`** *(string, optional)* – A farewell message to display when leaving the channel.

#### Example Usage

Leave a channel with a custom message:

```javascript
bot.part('#YOUR-CHANNEL', 'Im done.');
```

Leave a channel without a custom message:

```javascript
bot.part('#YOUR-CHANNEL');
```

#### Notes

* Ensure the channel name starts with `#`.
* The bot must be in the channel to part from it.
* If no message is provided, the default server message will be used.
* Some IRC networks may require additional permissions to leave a channel.
