NAME

ctrlproxy - a modular IRC proxy with multi-server support

SYNOPSIS

ctrlproxy [-d file] [-l file] [-D] [--init] [-r file] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

ctrlproxy is a modular IRC proxy. It connects to a number of IRC servers and then passes data it receives on to the modules that have been loaded into it. Current modules are client_simple (for proxy support) and log (for irssi-style log file generation). By default, ctrlproxy listens for client connections on port 6668 and any ports after that one, depending on the number of servers it is connected to.

OPTIONS

ctrlproxy recognizes the following command-line options -i, --inetd-client=NETWORK Add incoming client on stdin/stdout, connected to the specified network. This can be used for inetd-like communication and testing. -d, --debugfile=FILE Dump IRC traffic to specified file. Only useful for debugging purposes. -D, --daemon Go to the background after the program has been started (daemon mode). -c, --config-dir=DIR Read configuration files from the specified directory DIR instead of from .ctrlproxy in the users' homedirectory. --init Create a new configuration file. -v, --version Show copyright and version information -?, --help Show help message with short argument information -l, --log=FILE Log ctrlproxy messages to specified file. --usage Display brief usage message

SIGNALS

When ctrlproxy receives a USR1 signal, it will save its current state.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

CTRLPROXY_MODULESDIR Override directory that will be searched for plugins.
