NAME

6       ctrlproxy - a modular IRC proxy with multi-server support
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ctrlproxy [-d file] [-l file] [-D] [--init] [-r file] [-v]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ctrlproxy is a modular IRC proxy. It connects to a number of IRC
13       servers and then passes data it receives on to the modules that have
14       been loaded into it. Current modules are client_simple (for proxy
15       support) and log (for irssi-style log file generation).
16
17       By default, ctrlproxy listens for client connections on port 6668 and
18       any ports after that one, depending on the number of servers it is
19       connected to.
