2 | <title>Server config file format</title> | |
3 | <sect1> | |
4 | <title>General format</title> | |
5 | <para> | |
6 | The config file consists of a series of BIND-style blocks. Each block consists of a series | |
7 | of values inside it which pertain to configuration settings that apply to the given block. | |
8 | </para> | |
9 | <para> | |
10 | Several values take lists of values and have defaults preset inside | |
11 | them. Prefix a keyword with a tilde (~) to override the default and | |
12 | disable it. | |
13 | </para> | |
14 | <para> | |
15 | A line may also be a .include directive, which is of the form <synopsis>.include "<replaceable>file</replaceable>"</synopsis> | |
16 | and causes <replaceable>file</replaceable> to be read in at that point, before the rest of the current file is | |
17 | processed. | |
18 | Relative paths are first tried relative to PREFIX and then relative | |
19 | to ETCPATH (normally PREFIX/etc). | |
20 | </para> | |
21 | <para> | |
22 | Anything from a # to the end of a line is a comment. Blank lines are ignored. C-style comments are also supported. | |
23 | </para> | |

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

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

1054 | The service block specifies privileged servers (services). These | |
1055 | servers have extra privileges such as setting login names on users | |
1056 | and introducing clients with umode +S (unkickable, hide channels, etc). | |
1057 | This does not allow them to set bans, you need a separate shared{} | |
1058 | block for that. | |
