not a format string (eg ":%s LUSERS %s"). It now simply concats all parv[]'s. That is, up to parc count. And it automatically does the :stuff for the last parameter if it contains spaces or starts with a : etc. This gets rid of a bit sketchy code with an arbitrary maximum etc. Now it's just: if (hunt_server(client, NULL, "REHASH", 1, parc, parv) != HUNTED_ISME) return; This has one side effect, though: Previously we used the format string, so it may be possible for S2S traffic to now have more arguments then before here and there. Eg: * It could be that the caller was using a format string to intentionally cut off an extra parameter at the end. You can still do that if you call with eg parc-1 instead of parc. I don't think there were any such cases though, but hard to rule out. * Extranous parameters may show up in S2S traffic where it was previously unexpected.
About UnrealIRCd
UnrealIRCd is an Open Source IRC Server, serving thousands of networks since 1999. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed IRCd with a market share of 42%. UnrealIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong focus on modularity, an advanced and highly configurable configuration file. Key features include SSL/TLS, cloaking, its advanced anti-flood and anti-spam systems, swear filtering and module support. We are also particularly proud on our extensive online documentation.
How to get started
Please consult our excellent online documentation at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/ when setting up the IRCd!
Step 1: Installation
Windows
Simply download the UnrealIRCd Windows version from www.unrealircd.org
Alternatively you can compile UnrealIRCd for Windows yourself. However this is not straightforward and thus not recommended.
*BSD/Linux/macOS
Do the following steps under a separate account for running UnrealIRCd, do NOT compile or run as root.
Step 1: Compile the IRCd
- Run
./Config - Run
make - Run
make install - Now change to the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd, e.g.
cd /home/xxxx/unrealircd
Step 2: Configuration
Configuration files are stored in the conf/ folder by default (eg: /home/xxxx/unrealircd/conf)
Create a configuration file
If you are new, then you need to create your own configuration file: Copy conf/examples/example.conf to conf/ and call it unrealircd.conf. Then open it in an editor and carefully modify it using the documentation and FAQ as a guide (see below).
Step 3: Booting
Linux/*BSD/macOS
Run ./unrealircd start in the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd.
Windows
Start -> All Programs -> UnrealIRCd -> UnrealIRCd
