.SH HINTS
It's wise to use "ngircd \-\-configtest" to validate the configuration file
after changing it.
.SH DEBUGGING
When ngIRCd is compiled with debug code, that is, its source code has
been ./configure'd with "--enable-debug" and/or "--enable-sniffer" (witch
enables debug mode automatically as well), you can use two more command
line options and two more signals to debug problems with the daemon itself
or IRC clients:
.PP
\fBOptions:\fR
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR
Enable debug mode and log extra messages.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sniffer\fR
Enable IRC protocol sniffer, which logs all sent and received IRC commands to
the console/syslog. This option requires that ngIRCd has been ./configure'd
with "--enable-sniffer" and enables debug mode automatically, too.
.PP
\fBSignals:\fR
.TP
\fBUSR1\fR
Toggle debug mode on and off during runtime.
.TP
\fBUSR2\fR
Dump internal server state to the console/syslog when debug mode is on (use
command line option \-\-debug or signal USR1).
