I. Introduction
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which
|
|
is developed and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
|
|
Licence (URL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). ngIRCd means "next
|
|
generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the
|
|
"grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. Status
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviours of the
|
|
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
|
|
specified by the RFCs.
|
|
|
|
In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be
|
|
used in real IRC networks.
|
|
|
|
Implemented IRC-commands are:
|
|
|
|
ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, HELP, INVITE, ISON,
|
|
JOIN, KICK, KILL, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE,
|
|
OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SQUIT,
|
|
STATS, TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, VERSION, WHO, WHOIS, WHOWAS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
