<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
30
<command>ctrlproxy</command> is a modular IRC proxy. It connects
31
to a number of IRC servers and then passes data it receives on
32
to the modules that have been loaded into it. Current
33
modules are client_simple (for proxy support) and
34
log (for irssi-style log file generation).
38
By default, ctrlproxy listens for client connections
39
on port 6668 and any ports after that one, depending
40
on the number of servers it is connected to.
