| 11 | # DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | soju is a user-friendly IRC bouncer. It connects to upstream IRC servers on
|
|---|
| 14 | behalf of the user to provide extra features.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | - Multiple separate users sharing the same bouncer, each with their own
|
|---|
| 17 | upstream servers
|
|---|
| 18 | - Clients connecting to multiple upstream servers via a single connection to
|
|---|
| 19 | the bouncer
|
|---|
| 20 | - Sending the backlog (messages received while the user was disconnected from
|
|---|
| 21 | the bouncer), with per-client buffers
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | When joining a channel, the channel will be saved and automatically joined on
|
|---|
| 24 | the next connection. When registering or authenticating with NickServ, the
|
|---|
| 25 | credentials will be saved and automatically used on the next connection if the
|
|---|
| 26 | server supports SASL.
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | soju supports two connection modes:
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | - Single upstream mode: one downstream connection maps to one upstream
|
|---|
| 31 | connection. To enable this mode, connect to the bouncer with the username
|
|---|
| 32 | "<username>/<network>". If the bouncer isn't connected to the upstream
|
|---|
| 33 | server, it will get automatically added. Then channels can be joined and
|
|---|
| 34 | parted as if you were directly connected to the upstream server.
|
|---|
| 35 | - Multiple upstream mode: one downstream connection maps to multiple upstream
|
|---|
| 36 | connections. Channels and nicks are suffixed with the network name. To join
|
|---|
| 37 | a channel, you need to use the suffix too: _/join #channel/network_. Same
|
|---|
| 38 | applies to messages sent to users.
