There is no point in waiting up to one second for the network receiving new data when there is still a read buffer holding at least one command; we shouldn't waste time but handle it immediately! |

ngIRCd - Internet Relay Chat Server
Introduction
ngIRCd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
server for small or private networks, developed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License (GPL); please see the file COPYING for licensing
information.
The server is simple to configure, can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6 as well as SSL. It is written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
The name ngIRCd means next generation IRC daemon, which is a little bit exaggerated: lightweight Internet Relay Chat server most probably would have been a better name :-)
Please see the INSTALL.md document for installation and upgrade information,
online available here: https://ngircd.barton.de/doc/INSTALL.md!
Status
ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be used as daemon in real world IRC networks.
It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of the original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics specified by the RFCs that are used by existing clients.
Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)
- Well arranged (lean) configuration file.
- Simple to build, install, configure, and maintain.
- Supports IPv6 and SSL.
- Can use PAM for user authentication.
- Lots of popular user and channel modes are implemented.
- Supports "cloaking" of users.
- No problems with servers that have dynamic IP addresses.
- Freely available, modern, portable and tidy C source.
- Wide field of supported platforms, including AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.
- ngIRCd is being actively developed since 2001.
