SYNOPSIS
ircrc [ -p port ] [ -P server password ] [ -r realname ] [
-t target ] [ -n nick ] [ -T ] [ server ]
DESCRIPTION
Ircrc is an IRC client. Messages are sent from standard
input and received from standard output. The default server
is irc.oftc.net. The arguments bitlbee and oftc are
expanded to im.bitlbee.org and irc.oftc.net, respectively.
The options are:
-p port
Change the default port (6667).
-P server password
Specify a password for the remote server.
-r realname
Change the default name (<nil>).
-t target
Set and join the target channel. If multiple channels
are specified, only the last one will be set as target.
Messages are sent to target unless they are commands.
-n nick
Change the default nickname ($user).
-T
Use tls through tlssrv(8).
Commands
Ircrc commands begin with a slash. Unrecognized commands
result in an error message and send nothing to the server.
The commands are:
/! cmd
Send the output of the shell command cmd to the current
target.
/M MODE command.
/N NOTICE command.
/T TOPIC command.
/W WHOIS command.
