 DESCRIPTION
 
 goircd is very simple IRC server, written on Go.
 It is heavily inspired by miniircd daemon written on Python.
+GoVPN is free software: see the file COPYING for copying conditions.
 It does not aim to replace full featured mass scalable IRC networks:
 
 * It can not connect to other servers. Just standalone installation
 * It has few basic IRC commands
 * There is no support for channel operators, modes, votes, invites
-  and so on
 * No ident lookups, reverse DNS queries
 
 But it has some convincing features:

 USAGE
 
 Just execute goircd daemon. It has following optional arguments:
 
-* -hostname: hostname to show for client's connections
-* -bind: address to bind to (:6667 be default)
-* -motd: absolute path to MOTD file. It is reread every time MOTD is
-         requested
-* -logdir: directory where all channels messages will be saved. If

-* -statedir: directory where all channels states will be saved and
-             loaded during startup. If omitted, then states will be
-             lost after daemon termination
-* -tlsbind/-tlskey/-tlscert: enable TLS, specify address to listen on,

+Log files are not opened all the time, but only during each message
