<title>Basic Usage</title>
<para>
By default, the module creates a
<link xlink:href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/"><literal>systemd</literal></link>
unit which runs the chat client in a detached
<link xlink:href="https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/"><literal>screen</literal></link>
session.
</para>
<para>
This can be done by enabling the <literal>weechat</literal>
service:
</para>
<programlisting>
{ ... }:
{
services.weechat.enable = true;
}
</programlisting>
<para>
The service is managed by a dedicated user named
<literal>weechat</literal> in the state directory
<literal>/var/lib/weechat</literal>.
</para>

<title>Re-attaching to WeeChat</title>
<para>
WeeChat runs in a screen session owned by a dedicated user. To
explicitly allow your another user to attach to this session, the
<literal>screenrc</literal> needs to be tweaked by adding
<link xlink:href="https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Multiuser.html#Multiuser">multiuser</link>
support:
</para>
<programlisting>
{
programs.screen.screenrc = ''
multiuser on
acladd normal_user
'';
}
</programlisting>
<para>
Now, the session can be re-attached like this:
</para>
<programlisting>
screen -x weechat/weechat-screen
</programlisting>
<para>
<emphasis>The session name can be changed using
<link xlink:href="options.html#opt-services.weechat.sessionName">services.weechat.sessionName.</link></emphasis>
</para>
