InspIRCd v4 is still early in development!

If you use this branch you may experience crashes, weird behaviour, and unannounced breaking changes.

You probably want to use InspIRCd v3 instead.

The "chghost" Module (v4)

Description

This module adds the /CHGHOST command which allows server operators to change the displayed hostname of a user.

Configuration

To load this module use the following <module> tag:

<module name="chghost">

<hostname>

The <hostname> tag defines settings about how the chghost module should behave. This tag can only be defined once.

Name Type Default Value Description
charmap Text ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.-_/0123456789 The characters which are allowed in a hostname.
Example Usage

Allows hostnames to contain letters, numbers, /, -, .', and__`.

<hostname charmap="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.-_/0123456789">

Commands

Name Parameter Count Syntax Description
CHGHOST 2 <nickname> <hostname> Changes the displayed hostname of <nickname> to <hostname>.
