server-name and the ports, on which the server should be listening. In the
[Operator] section, the server-operators are defined and [Server] is the

In the [Global] section, there is the main configuration like the server
name and the ports, on which the server should be listening. IRC operators
of this server are defined in [Operator] blocks. [Server] is the section
where server links are configured. And [Channel] blocks are used to
configure pre-defined ("persistent") IRC channels.
The meaning of the variables in the configuration file is explained in the
"doc/sample-ngircd.conf", which is used as sample configuration file in
/usr/local/etc after running "make install" (if you don't already have one).
