.SH NAME
|
|
ircio \- A quaint little program to make irc life PING free
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This little program connects to the server (given as arg 1) on
|
|
the given port (given as arg 2). It then accepts input from stdin and
|
|
sends it to that server. Likewise, it reads stuff sent from the server and
|
|
sends it to stdout. Simple? Yes, it is. But wait! There's more! It
|
|
also intercepts server PINGs and automatically responds to them. This
|
|
frees up the process that starts ircio (such as IRCII) to pause without
|
|
fear of being pooted off the net.
|
|
.P
|
|
.B ircio
|
|
is not intended to be run by itself. It's started by ircII's -S command\-line
|
|
option.
|
|
.P
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
.B ircio
|
|
doesn't work at all with SSL\-enabled IRC connections. It also
|
|
doesn't work properly with the
|
|
.B libera.chat
|
|
network even without SSL: you can connect, but you'll get disconnected
|
|
before the MOTD is sent.
|
|
.P
|
|
There are better ways to solve the problem
|
|
.B ircio
|
|
solves, such as
|
|
.BR screen (1),
|
|
.BR tmux (1),
|
|
or just multiple X terminals. There's no need to suspend
|
|
.B ircII
|
|
in such environments.
