|
<title>General format</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The config file consists of a series of BIND-style blocks. Each block consists of a series
|
|
of values inside it which pertain to configuration settings that apply to the given block.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Several values take lists of values and have defaults preset inside
|
|
them. Prefix a keyword with a tilde (~) to override the default and
|
|
disable it.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A line may also be a .include directive, which is of the form <synopsis>.include "<replaceable>file</replaceable>"</synopsis>
|
|
and causes <replaceable>file</replaceable> to be read in at that point, before the rest of the current file is
|
|
processed.
|
|
Relative paths are first tried relative to PREFIX and then relative
|
|
to ETCPATH (normally PREFIX/etc).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Anything from a # to the end of a line is a comment. Blank lines are ignored. C-style comments are also supported.

<title>Specific blocks and directives</title>

<para>

Not all configuration blocks and directives are listed here, only the most common ones. More blocks and directives will
|
|
be documented in later revisions of this manual.

loadmodule "<replaceable>text</replaceable>";</synopsis>

<para>
|
|
Loads a module into the IRCd. In charybdis 1.1, most modules are automatically loaded in. In future versions, it is
|
|
intended to remove this behaviour as to allow for easy customization of the IRCd's featureset.
