NAME¶
inspircd - A modular C++ IRC Daemon
SYNOPSIS¶
inspircd [--version] [--config <config>] [--runasroot] [--nofork]
[--nolog] [--logfile <filename>] [--debug] [--testsuite]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
inspircd command.
inspircd is a modular C++ IRC Daemon (ircd) for Linux, BSD and Windows
systems created to provide a stable, modern, lightweight irc server from
scratch and provide a vast number of features in a modularised form using an
advanced module API. By keeping the functionality of the main core to a
minimum we hope to increase the stability and speed of our project and make it
customisable to the needs of many users. InspIRCd is designed primarily to be
a custom irc server for the chatspike irc network (irc.chatspike.net) but we
are releasing it into the public domain under GPL so that you may benefit
yourself from our work. The project is written from scratch, avoiding the
inherent instability under large loads which can be seen in many other irc
server distributions which have the same featureset.
The
inspircd command starts the ircd server, using
/etc/inspircd/inspircd.conf as its configuration file unless used with
--config.
