Features

  • transparent detaching and attaching of clients
  • proxy multiple users and IRC connections (multiuser, multiserver)

  • backlog events (messages, nick changes, quits, …) upon client connection (optional)
  • optional timestamp backlogs
  • limit backlog to N lines per channel or backlog since since last client-quit or client-message
  • logging support – can be disabled for low disk space servers/accounts. It can even be done in memory if you want backlog without file on disk (think wrt54g and the like)
  • configurable logfile format using bip user, bip network name, channel name, and month/day (rotate logs)
  • complete text file configuration (+vim syntax file)
  • multiple IRC clients can access to the same IRC connection (same network, same nick) transparently

  • bip runs in one process and tries hard not to hog your CPU for no reason
  • low memory usage
