I. Introduction
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which
|
|
is developed and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
|
|
Licence (URL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). ngIRCd means "next
|
|
generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the
|
|
"grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.
|
|
|
|
Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. Status
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviours of the
|
|
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
|
|
specified by the RFCs.
|
|
|
|
In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be
|
|
used in real IRC networks.
|
|
|
|
Implemented IRC-commands are:
|
|
|
|
ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, GLINE, HELP, INFO,
|
|
INVITE, ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, KLINE, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD,
|
|
NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT,
|
|
REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SERVICE, SERVLIST, SQUERY, SQUIT, STATS, SUMMON,
|
|
TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, USERS, VERSION, WALLOPS, WEBIRC, WHO,
|
|
WHOIS, WHOWAS.
|
|
|
|
