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. -.SH COPYRIGHT -(c) 1988,1989 University of Oulu, Computing Center, Finland, -.LP -(c) 1988,1989 Department of Information Processing Science, -University of Oulu, Finland -.LP -(c) 1988,1989,1990,1991 Jarkko Oikarinen -.LP -For full COPYRIGHT see LICENSE file with IRC package. -.LP -.RE -.SH FILES - /etc/utmp - "ircd.conf" -.SH "SEE ALSO" -irc(1) -.SH BUGS -See the file 'BUGS' included in the distribution. -.SH AUTHOR -The current authors of the undernet IRC daemon are coder-com@undernet.org, -the original author was Jarkko Oikarinen. \ No newline at end of file
