pounce(1) is a multi-client, TLS-only IRC bouncer. It maintains a
|
|
persistent connection to an IRC server, acting as a proxy and buffer for
|
|
a number of clients. When a client connects, any messages received
|
|
since it last disconnected will be relayed to it. Unlike some other
|
|
bouncers, pounce uses a single buffer for all IRC messages, which acts
|
|
as a queue from which each client reads messages independently.
|
|
|
|
pounce speaks regular modern IRC to both servers and clients, using the
|
|
server-time extension to indicate when messages originally occurred.
|
|
Clients identify themselves to pounce by their IRC usernames. See
|
|
QUIRKS(7) for notes on connecting pounce with particular networks and
|
|
clients.
|
|
|
|
Also included are pounce-notify(1) and pounce-palaver(1)

DEPENDENCIES
|
|
|
|
pounce requires either libtls or libressl. libtls is the smaller,
|
|
faster build of the two.
