.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
daemon logs IRC activity to a database
which may be queried with
.Xr scoop 1 .
It connects to IRC over TLS.
Messages, notices, joins, parts, quits, kicks,
nick changes and topic changes
are recorded in the database.
The contents of messages are indexed for full-text search.
.
.Pp
The database must first be initialized with
.Fl i .
If the database format has changed,
an existing database can be migrated with
.Fl m .
.
.Pp
Options can be loaded from
files listed on the command line.
Files are searched for in
.Pa $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/litterbox
unless the path starts with
.Ql /
or
.Ql \&. .
Each option is placed on a line,
and lines beginning with
.Ql #
are ignored.
The options are listed below
following their corresponding flags.
.
.Pp
The arguments are as follows:
.
.Bl -tag -width "-h host"
.It Fl N Ar name , Cm network = Ar name
Set the network name to be used
if the server does not send
.Sy RPL_ISUPPORT NETWORK .
The default is the server hostname.
.
.It Fl Q , Cm public-query
Enable the public search query interface.
This allows anyone to perform searches
in private messages to
.Nm .
Search results are limited to channels
on the current network.
.
.Pp
Searches use the full-text search index.
The searchable columns are
.Li channel ,
.Li nick ,
.Li user ,
.Li target ,
.Li message .
For search query syntax, see
.Aq Lk https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html#full_text_query_syntax .

.Ar path .
This operation requires SQLite version 3.27.0 or newer.
.
.It Fl c Ar path , Cm cert = Ar path
Load the TLS client certificate from
.Ar path
and authenticate with SASL EXTERNAL.
If the private key is in a separate file,
it is loaded with
.Fl k .

The possible default paths
are documented in

This allows search queries in private messages to
.Nm
only from itself.
This is intended for use with
.Nm
connected to
.Xr pounce 1 ,
allowing the user to message themselves
to perform searches.
Search results are limited to the current network.
.
.Pp
Searches use the full-text search index.
The searchable columns are
.Li channel ,
.Li query ,
.Li nick ,
.Li user ,
