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.

OPTIONS

       These  programs  follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with
       two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included below.  For the complete documentation
       for inspircd, please see http://inspircd.org/wiki/Main_Page.

       --help Show summary of options.

              Change the file name used for the main configuration file

       --runasroot
              Allow InspIRCd to run as root, after a short pause and a nag banner to prevent this
              being done accidentally (NOT RECOMMENDED OR SUPPORTED!)

       --nofork
              Do not fork to the background on startup, useful for debugging modules
