<title>Server config file format</title>
<sect1>
<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.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="configlines">
<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.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>loadmodule directive</title>
<synopsis>
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.

<para>
The shared block specifies opers allowed to perform certain actions
on our server remotely.
These are ordered top down. The first one matching will determine
the oper's access.
If access is denied, the command will be silently ignored.

service {

<para>
The service block specifies privileged servers (services). These
servers have extra privileges such as setting login names on users
and introducing clients with umode +S (unkickable, hide channels, etc).
This does not allow them to set bans, you need a separate shared{}
block for that.
</para>
<para>
Do not place normal servers here.

Multiple names may be specified but there may be only one service{}
block.
