.TH ngircd 8 "August 2005" ngircd "ngIRCd Manual"
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
ngIRCd \- the next generation IRC daemon
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B ngircd [
|
||||
.I Options
|
||||
.B ]
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.BR ngIRCd
|
||||
is a free open source daemon for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC),
|
||||
developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
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).
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Currently supported platforms include AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
|
||||
Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
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 as well.
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
The default behaviour of
|
||||
.BR ngircd
|
||||
is to read its standard configuration file (see below), to detach from the
|
||||
controlling terminal and to wait for clients.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
You can use these options to modify this default:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-f\fR \fIfile\fR, \fB\-\-config\fR \fIfile\fR
|
||||
Use
|
||||
.I file
|
||||
as configuration file.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-nodaemon\fR
|
||||
Don't fork a child and don't detach from controlling terminal.
|
||||
All log messages go to the console and you can use CTRL-C to
|
||||
terminate the server.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-passive\fR
|
||||
Disable automatic connections to other servers. You can use the IRC command
|
||||
CONNECT later on as IRC Operator to link this ngIRCd to other servers.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-configtest\fR
|
||||
Read, validate and display the configuration; then exit.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-\-version\fR
|
||||
Output version information and exit.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||

||||
