QuasselIRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s)
       can  attach  to and detach from a central core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-
       based IRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical.

       quassel provides a standalone IRC client experience, integrating  the  core  and  client  into  a  single
       program. To connect to and manage a running quasselcore, use the quasselclient client program.

       When --config-from-environment is specified, the quasselcore will use the following environment variables
       instead of the configuration file. This may be useful for container setups or automated deployment.

       AUTH_AUTHENTICATOR
              Specifies the selected user authentication backend. See --select-authenticator.

       AUTH_LDAP_BASE_DN
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator base DN.

       AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator bind DN.

       AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator bind password.

       AUTH_LDAP_FILTER
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator filter.

       AUTH_LDAP_HOSTNAME
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator connection hostname.

       AUTH_LDAP_PORT
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator connection port.

       AUTH_LDAP_UID_ATTRIBUTE
              Specifies the LDAP authenticator UID attribute.

       DB_BACKEND
              Specifies the selected database backend. See --select-backend.

       DB_PGSQL_DATABASE
              Specifies the Postgres connection database name.

       DB_PGSQL_HOSTNAME
              Specifies the Postgres connection hostname.

       DB_PGSQL_USERNAME
              Specifies the Postgres connection username.

       DB_PGSQL_PASSWORD
              Specifies the Postgres connection user password.

       DB_PGSQL_PORT
              Specifies the Postgres connection port.

$HOME/.config/quassel-irc.org
              Configuration files, SQLite database with chat logs, and the SSL/TLS certificate. To override, see
              --configdir.

NOTE:  These  options  should  not  need  modified  in  most cases. Running a separate quasselcore is the
       recommended way to allow multiple clients to connect to a core.

       --add-user
              Starts an interactive session to add a new core user

       --change-userpass=USERNAME
              Starts an interactive session to change the password of the user identified by USERNAME.

       --config-from-environment
              Load configuration from environment variables, ignoring the configuration file.  See  the  section
              on ENVIRONMENTVARIABLES.

       --debug-irc
              Enable  logging  of  all  raw  IRC  messages to debug log, includingpasswords!  In most cases you
              should also set --loglevelDebug.

       --debug-irc-id=DATABASENETWORKID
              Limit raw IRC logging to this network ID. Implies --debug-irc.

       --ident-daemon
              Enable internal ident daemon.

       --ident-listen=IDENTLISTEN
              The address(es) quasselcore will listen on for ident  requests.  Same  format  as  --listen.  Only
              meaningful with --ident-daemon. Default is: ::1,127.0.0.1 (only localhost)

       --ident-port=IDENTPORT
              The  port  the quasselcore will listen at for ident requests. Only meaningful with --ident-daemon.
              Default is: 10113

       --listen=LISTEN
              The address(es) quasselcore will listen on when --port is specified.  Default is: ::,0.0.0.0  (all
              addresses)

       -n, --norestore
              Don't restore last core's state, such as previously connected networks.

       --oidentd
              Enable oidentd integration. In most cases you should also enable --strict-ident.

       --oidentd-conffile=OIDENTCONF
              Set path to oidentd configuration file.

       -p, --port=PORT
              The  port  the  internal  quasselcore will listen at. If not specified, the internal core will not
              accept connections from other clients.

       --require-ssl
              Require SSL for remote (non-loopback) client connections.

       --select-authenticator=AUTHENTICATOR
              Starts an interactive session to switch your current user authentication backend to the new one.

       --select-backend=BACKEND
              Starts an interactive session to switch your current storage backend to the new  one.  Attempts  a
              merge  if  the  new  backend  is  uninitialized  and the old backend supports migration, otherwise
              prompts for new user credentials.

       --ssl-cert=SSLCERTFILE
              Specify the path to the SSL certificate. Reloaded when quasselcore is sent a SIGHUP.  Default  is:
              CONFIGDIR/quasselCert.pem

       --ssl-key=SSLKEYFILE
              Specify  the  path to the SSL key. Reloaded when quasselcore is sent a SIGHUP.  Only needed if not
              combined with the SSL certificate.

       --strict-ident
              Use users' quasselcore username as ident reply. Ignores  each  user's  configured  ident  setting.
              Useful  for multi-user quasselcores connecting to IRC networks that require a fixed identifier for
              each user.
