This allows the system administrator to overwrite the DAEMON variable in
/etc/defaults/<name> and to use this init script even when the default
"/usr/sbin/ngircd" doesn't exist on the system.

This file prvides some macros for common tasks required by functions
implementing handlers for IRC commands:

* _IRC_GET_TARGET_SERVER_OR_RETURN_
This patch enables ngIRCd to work with listening sockets already
initialized and passed-in by systemd(8) and hereby to support on-demand
"socket activation".
systemd(8) uses two environment variables to pass information about the
sockets to ngIRCd, LISTEN_PID and LISTEN_FDS, and this mechanism only
kicks in when both variables are set. In all other cases, and therefore
in most installations out there, nothing changes at all.
Please note:
If socket activation is in effect, ngIRCd will not initialize any (other)
soeckets on its own! All sockets must be configured in the systemd(8)
socket unit configuration file in this case, see ./contrib/ngircd.socket
for example.
Probably it would be interesting to match passed-in sockets to configured
listening sockets and to initialize all the remaining ones not already
set up by systemd(8), but this is kept back for an other patch ...

Don't run ngIRCd in forground mode but let it daemonize itself. This
enhances the log output of "systemctl status ngircd.service", because
now ngIRCd doesn't print out its PID and timestamp on each log message
which is redundant: it becomes logged by systemd/journald already.
* bug145-ProvideHelp:
Use "${docdir}/Commands.txt" as help text file
Add a note that "help file" is updated on startup and REHASH only
Add doc/Commands.txt which should document all commands
Implement Help() function parsing and returning the help text
Document "HelpFile" in sample-ngircd.conf and ngircd.conf.5
Implement new configuration option "HelpFile"
IRC_HELP(): Code cleanup
Refactor Read_Motd() into Read_TextFile()
Starting with Anope 1.9.8, the ngIRCd protocol module is included in the
Anope distribution, so there's no longer any need to support our own (but
now heavily outdated!) patches. Therefore remove them.
The METADATA command can be used by other servers to update "metadata"
of registered clients, like the client info text ("real name"), user
name, and hostname:
:<prefix> METADATA <target> <key> :<value>
It is distributed in the network, unknown <key> names are silently ignored
and passed on, too. This allows for further extensions.
This closes bug #109.
* bug109-CHARCONV:
Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building
Debian ngircd-full[-dbg]: enable CHARCONV
Add "CHARCONV" to "feature string" when enabled
Implement new IRC+ "CHARCONV" command
Added new configure option "--with-iconv"
