I was wondering where I could find some information on the "UnrealIRCd configuration file updater." I have not been able to find much about it.
I assume "UnrealIRCd configuration file updater" is the correct name, but it may be called something else. This is what leads me to think that, in updconf.c: fprintf(fd2, "/* Created using the UnrealIRCd configuration file updater */\n\n");
I was looking in the source, at the file /src/updconf.c, and it appears to be the code for this "UnrealIRCd configuration file updater." I have grep'ed, and havent found anymore information on what this does, or how it gets compiled. It does not even appear to get compiled, as far as I can tell.
I would appreciate any information on this file, how it is used, and where it is compiled.
Thanks,
mfonda

Well, it was never really used. What it was designed to do was convert an ircd.conf to an unrealircd.conf. The thing was, 3.2 took so much longer than we expected, and most other IRCds began using similar formats, so it seemed as though most users became comfortable with the new syntax making the converter really unnecessary. If there is a demand for it though, I wouldn't mind continuing working on it.
