.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B ngircd
|
||||
is a portable IRC daemon written from scratch. It is easy to configure,
|
||||
supports server links (even with original ircds) and runs on hosts with
|
||||
changing IP addresses (such as dial-in networks). Currently supported
|
||||
platforms (tested versions) are: AIX (3.2.5), A/UX (3.0.1), FreeBSD
|
||||
(4.5), HP-UX (10.20), IRIX (6.5), Linux (2.x), Mac OS X (10.x), NetBSD
|
||||
(1.5.2/i386, 1.5.3/m68k), Solaris (2.5.1, 2.6), and Windows with Cygwin.
|
||||
is a free open source daemon for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC),
|
||||
developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
|
||||
|
||||
It's written from scratch and is not based upon the original IRCd like
|
||||
many others. It is easy to configure, supports server links (even with
|
||||
original ircd's) and runs on hosts with changing IP addresses (such as
|
||||
dial-in networks).
|
||||
|
||||
Currently supported platforms (tested versions) are: AIX (3.2.5 with IBM XL
|
||||
C Compiler), A/UX (3.x, Apple pre-ANSI C Compiler and GNU C), FreeBSD
|
||||
(4.5/i386, GNU C), HP-UX (10.20, GNU C), IRIX (6.5, SGI MIPSpro C 7.30),
|
||||
Linux (2.2.x/i386, 2.4.x/i386 and 2.4.x/hppa, GNU C), Mac OS X (10.x, GNU C),
|
||||
NetBSD (1.5.2/i386 and 1.5.3/m68k, GNU C), Solaris (2.5.1 and 2.6, GNU C),
|
||||
and Windows with Cygwin (GNU C).
|
||||
|
||||
As ngIRCd relies on UNIX standards and uses GNU automake and GNU autoconf
|
||||
there are good chances that it also supports other UNIX-based operating
|
||||
systems.
|
||||
|
||||
