NAME

       znc - An advanced IRC bouncer

SYNOPSIS

       znc --help
       znc --version
       znc --makepass
       znc [-n] [-d datadir] [-D] [-f]
       znc [-n] [-d datadir] [-D] [-f] --makeconf
       znc [-n] [-d datadir] [-D] [-f] --makepem

DESCRIPTION

       znc  is	an  IRC proxy.	It runs as a daemon and connects to IRC server, then allows you to connect from a workstation and work as the user
       that is logged in to the IRC server.  After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to the server.  It acts like any normal IRC server,
       so you can use any IRC client to connect to it.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Output a brief help message.

       -v, --version
	      Show the full version number.

       -n, --no-color
	      Don't use any color escape sequences.

       -f, --foreground
	      Don't fork the ZNC process into the background.

       -D, --debug
	      Print debug output to the console. Implies --foreground.

       -d DATADIR, --datadir=DATADIR
	      Specify another datadir.	This is where znc saves everything.

       -c, --makeconf
	      Interactively create a new configuration.

       -s, --makepass
	      Hash a password for use in znc.conf.

       -p, --makepem
	      Generate znc.pem.  This is the server certificate znc uses.  You need this for SSL.

       -r, --allow-root
	      Don't complain if ZNC is run with root privilegies.

SIGNALS

       This section explains how znc reacts to different signals:

       SIGINT Exit ZNC. This is equivalent to /znc shutdown

       SIGHUP Reload znc.conf. This is equivalent to /znc rehash

       SIGUSR1
	      Rewrite znc.conf. This is equivalent to /znc saveconfig

FILES

       /usr/local/share/znc/
	      Static module data like webadmin skins

       /usr/local/lib/znc/
	      znc installs its modules to this directory.

       /usr/local/include/znc/
	      These are the headers needed for compiling own modules.

       ~/.znc This  is	the  default  datadir.	The following paths assume that you use this.  If you change this via --datadir then the following
	      lines are relative to that dir.

       ~/.znc/znc.pem
	      This is the server certificate znc uses for listening on SSL ports.  You can generate this via --makepem and you	may  replace  this
	      with your own certificate, if you want to.

       ~/.znc/modules/
	      If you compile your own modules, you can save them here.

       ~/.znc/configs/znc.conf
	      This is the path to znc.conf.  Use --makeconf for an easy way to generate it.

       ~/.znc/users/USERNAME/
	      The data for every user is saved in this dir.  USERNAME refers to the user name of that user.

       ~/.znc/users/USERNAME/moddata/MODULENAME/
	      This is where each module can save some stuff. This is mainly used for remembering module settings that are not part of znc.conf.

       ~/.znc/moddata/MODULENAME/
	      This is where global modules may save their settings.

       -f filename

	      Where to find the K:line config file.

       -l filename
	      Where to write the logfile.

       -n     Do not fork, run in the foreground.

       -v     Print version and exit.

       -x debuglevel
	      Sets the debug level. Higher is more data. Only effective if the ircd was compiled for debugging.
