-\fIinterface\fP is passed to gethostbyname(3) in order to retrieve the
-IP-number of the default interface to bind to.  An example would be to
-use `-w localhost' after which the server listens by default on the
-loopback interface.  Use `ifconfig -a' to see which interfaces you have.
-Without this option the hostname in the M: line is used as default
-interface and if that doesn't resolve, all interfaces are used. The
-server uses the default interface to listen for UDP packets (UPING)
-and for each listen port without a specified interface to bind to.
-Interfaces can be specified per listen port in the configuration file
-(ircd.conf) using P: lines. Note that the last P: line in the
-ircd.conf specifying an interface (not localhost) overrules the
-default CONNECT interface (outgoing connections) but does not change
-the default listen interface as described above.
