If you don't specify one using "-c /path/to/configuration/file" then the example configuration one will be created for you in $HOME/.blabouncer/ when starting.
+Certain configuration options can be changed at runtime, either at any time, or by issuing a BLABOUNCER REHASH command or by sending SIGHUP to blabouncer.

+These options can be changed at any time as they are re-read when needed:
+ - nick2
+ - nick3
+ - password

+These options can be changed by issuing a BLABOUNCER REHASH command or by sending SIGHUP to blabouncer:
+ - replaymode
+ - replayseconds
+ - logging

== Commands ==
Once connected to blabouncer with a client, you can use the following commands:
"BLABOUNCER REPLAY [[[[days:]hours:]minutes:]seconds]" (To replay a given length of time of replay log.)
"BLABOUNCER QUIT [quit message]" (To quit blabouncer, optionally sending [quit message] to the server.)
+"BLABOUNCER REHASH" (To reload settings from the configuration file, see above for details.)
Blabouncer commands are all prefixed with BLABOUNCER which you can usually send using "/QUOTE BLABOUNCER".
