✨ NAME ✨

InspIRCd — the stable, high-performance and modular Internet Relay Chat Daemon 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

inspircd [--config <file>] [--debug] [--nofork] [--nolog] [--nopid]
[--protocoldebug] [--runasroot] [--version]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. every flag explained below, no gatekeeping 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --config <file> — sets the path to the main configuration file. defaults to /etc/inspircd/inspircd.conf. so if you don't say anything, that's where it's looking, periodt.
• --debug — logs at the debug level to the standard output stream. the receipts, but make them ✨verbose✨.
• --nofork — don't fork into the background after starting up. it stays right there in your face, main character energy, no retreating to the bg.
• --nolog — don't write to log files. no log, no problem 🫶
• --nopid — don't write to the PID file. the pid file is simply not invited to the party.
• --protocoldebug — logs at the raw I/O level to the standard output stream. this is the deep lore version of logging, like every single byte is talking to you 😭
• --runasroot — allows the server to start as root. not recommended, bestie, and i mean that so seriously — just don't, okay? 🙈
• --version — displays the InspIRCd version and exits. quick lil flex and then it's gone 💨
