-.SH NAME
-ircd \- The Undernet Internet Relay Chat Daemon
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.hy 0
-.IP \fBircd\fP
-[-t] [-d directory] [-f configfile] [-x debuglevel] [-h hostname]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-\fIircd\fP is the Undernet Internet Relay Chat daemon.
-\fIircd\fP is a server in that its function is to "serve"
-the client program \fIirc(1)\fP with messages and commands. All commands
-and user messages are passed directly to \fIircd\fP for processing
-and relaying to other servers. \fIirc(1)\fP depends upon
-there being an \fIircd\fP server running somewhere for it to connect to
-and thus allow the user to begin talking to other users.
-.LP
-There are many common clients including ircII, EPIC, and BitchX for UNIX,
-mIRC and pIRCh for Windows, and IRCle and Homer for the Macintosh.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-d directory
-This option tells the server to change to that directory and use
-that as a reference point when opening \fIircd.conf\fP and other startup
-files.
-.TP
-.B \-t
-Instructs the server run in the foreground and to direct debugging output to
-standard output.
-.TP
-.B \-x#
-Defines the debug level for \fIircd\fP. The higher the debug level, the more
-messages get directed to debugging file (or standard output if the -t option is
-used).
-.TP
-.B \-w interface
-This option is deprecated. Outgoing connections are bound to the
-interface specified in the M: line, and incoming connections are accepted only on
-interfaces specified in the P: lines.
-.TP
-.B \-f filename
-Specifies the \fIircd.conf\fP file to be used for this server. The option
-is used to override the default \fIircd.conf\fP given at compile time.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-This flag must be given if you are running \fIircd\fP from \fI/dev/console\fP or
-any other situation where fd 0 isn't a TTY and you want the server to fork
-off and run in the background. This needs to be given if you are starting
-\fIircd\fP from an \fIrc\fP (such as \fI/etc/rc.local\fP) file.
-.TP
-.B \-h hostname
-Allows the user to manually set the server name at startup. The default
-name is hostname.domainname.
-.TP
-.B \-p portname
-This is deprecated in favor of specifying server ports in P: lines.
-
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-If you plan to connect your \fIircd\fP server to an existing IRC network,
-you will need to alter your local \fIircd\fP configuration file (typically named
-\fIircd.conf\fP) so that it will accept and make connections to other IRC
-servers. This file contains the hostnames, network addresses, and
-passwords for connections to other IRC servers around the world. Because
-the description of the \fIircd.conf\fP file is beyond the scope of this
-document, please refer to the INSTALL file in the \fIircd\fP
-documentation directory.
-.LP
-BOOTING THE SERVER: The \fIircd\fP server can be started as part of the
-UNIX boot procedure or just by placing the server into Unix Background.
-Keep in mind that if it is *not* part of your UNIXES Boot-up procedure
-then you will have to manually start the \fIircd\fP server each time your
-UNIX is rebooted. This means if your UNIX is prone to crashing
-or going for for repairs a lot it would make sense to start the \fIircd\fP
-server as part of your UNIX bootup procedure. In some cases the \fIirc(1)\fP
-will automatically attempt to boot the \fIircd\fP server if the user is
-on the SAME UNIX that the \fIircd\fP is supposed to be running on. If the
-\fIirc(1)\fP cannot connect to the \fIircd\fP server it will try to start
-the server on it's own and will then try to reconnect to the newly booted
-\fIircd\fP server.
-.SH EXAMPLE
-.RS
-.nf
-tolsun% \fBircd\fP
-.fi
-.RE
-.LP
-Places \fIircd\fP into UNIX Background and starts up the server for use.
-Note: You do not have to add the "&" to this command, the program will
-automatically detach itself from tty.
