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. |
