Detailed Description

Each connection has one or more of these each represents ONE outbound connection to another ircd so each inbound has multiple outbounds.

A listening socket that accepts server type connections is represented by one class serverrec. Class serverrec will instantiate several objects of type ircd_connector to represent each established connection, inbound or outbound. So, to determine all linked servers you must walk through all the serverrecs that the core defines, and in each one iterate through until you find connection(s) relating to the server you want information on. The core and module API provide functions for this.
