27 * Definitions used everywhere in the server
28 * NOTE: Changing any of these definitions is equivalent to a protocol
29 * revision. Every server on a given network must also use the same sizes.
33 * NICKLEN is the maximum length allowed for a nickname
35 * Because certain networks are very helpful in finding bugs, the below
36 * is a default that can easily be overridden in CFLAGS. Just add
37 * -DNICKLEN=15 to CFLAGS and save your config in .., and you can forget about
38 * it. Thanks for helping debug guys.
44 * USERLEN is the maximum length allowed of a user name including an optional
45 * leading '~' if the user name has not been authenticated by an auth (RFC 931)
50 * HOSTLEN is exactly long enough to hold one (1) segment of FQDN or hostname.
51 * This is due to an historical misinterpretation of RFC 1034.
52 * 3.1. Name space specifications and terminology
54 * The domain name space is a tree structure. Each node and leaf on the
55 * tree corresponds to a resource set (which may be empty). The domain
56 * system makes no distinctions between the uses of the interior nodes and
57 * leaves, and this memo uses the term "node" to refer to both.
59 * Each node has a label, which is zero to 63 octets in length. Brother
60 * nodes may not have the same label, although the same label can be used
61 * for nodes which are not brothers. One label is reserved, and that is
62 * the null (i.e., zero length) label used for the root.
64 * This has proven not to be a problem in the past as connections with FQDN's
65 * of greater than 63 characters are rejected by the server, and most FQDN's
66 * are shorter. It is possible to have a valid FQDN longer than 63 characters.
70 * REALLEN is the maximum length for user supplied information about a client
71 * connection (gcos). This information is set at client/server registration
76 * PASSWDLEN is the maximum length for a password used for connecting servers
81 * SOCKIPLEN is the length of a dotted quad ip address "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
85 * TOPICLEN is the maximum length for channel topics, kill comments,
90 * BUFSIZE is exactly long enough to hold one protocol message (RFC 1459)
91 * including the line termination (\r\n).
