NAME

znc - An advanced IRC bouncer

SYNOPSIS

znc --help
znc --version
znc --makepass
znc [-n] [-d datadir]
znc [-n] [-d datadir] --makeconf
znc [-n] [-d datadir] --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.

-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. znc uses MD5 for hashing.

-p, --makepem

Generate znc.pem. This is the server certificate znc uses. You need this for SSL.

-e, --encrypt-pem

Just ignore this :).

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 compilling 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/configs/znc.conf-backup

znc may rewrite znc.conf to save your new settings. In case this goes wrong, you still have this backup of znc.conf which is overwritten everytime znc saves its config.

~/.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.
