ircII (IRC Client, Second Edition)
|
|
|
|
ircII is a full screen, curses-based interface to Internet Relay
|
|
Chat. It gives full access to all of the normal IRC functions, plus a
|
|
variety of additional options.
|
|
|
|
ircII is the oldest IRC client still maintained.
|
|
|
|
ircII has extensive built-in help, accessed by the /help command. If
|
|
you'd rather read the help in a browser, it's also available as:
|
|
|
|
file:///usr/doc/ircII-20210616_2/html/index.html
|
|
|
|
By default, this SlackBuild sets the default IRC server to
|
|
"SSLIRC/chat.freenode.org:6697". This only applies with ircII is
|
|
run without a server argument on the command line. You can change
|
|
the default server by setting the DEFSRV environment variable to the
|
|
host:port (with optional SSLIRC/ prefix for a secure connection), or
|
|
compile without a default server with DEFSRV=none.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, ircII can be compiled with 'paranoid mode'. This stops
|
|
ircII from including the ircII version or realname/username in CTCP
|
|
VERSION and FINGER responses. It also stops ircII from responding to
|
|
channel-wide CTCP requests entirely. To do this, export PARANOID=yes
|
|
in the script's environment.
