-Shows a list of maps that are currently being visited or have been visited.
-The different fields are Path, Pl, PlM, IM, TO, Dif and Reset. They mean:

+   maps <mapname>
+
+Shows a list of maps matching the regex <mapname> that are currently being
+known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Pl: the number of players on that map currently.
+
+=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
+
+The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
+40 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
+most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
+currently being loaded, but thats rare, as loading a map is fast.
+
+=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
+
+The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
+it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
+emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
+
+=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
+
+Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
+reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map.
+
+=item Path: the name that uniquely identifies the map, can be used for goto etc.

-Path: The last part of the map path
-Pl: Players on the map.
-PlM: Players on the map recounted (should be the same as Pl).
-IM: In memory means whether the map is: 1) in memory, 2) swapped to disk,
-3) currently loading or 4) currently saving.
-TO: Timeout, when the map is swapped to disk.
-Dif: Map difficulty.
-Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset.
